That's what I think we need to do with AOPA: help them recognize the
problem: that they're encouraging a dangerous monoculture.

You still don't get it AOPA is trying to provide a service to the vast
majority of it's members. It will switch to a different platform when the
majority, or a significant percentage, are using a different platform They
are not going to be out to DRIVE for change. It is not their place.

It's kinda like the firm that used to take care of my retirement
accounts. They installed a system that required you use IE to long
into your accounts. No other would work. At that point I rolled all my
accounts over to another brokerage firm.

I have not seen what AOPA has done, but if they have done something
like that is ver poor engineering practice as there if almost nothing
on the web that has to require a specific browser if they stick with
standard html and XHTML coding.

What one earth is is they have done any way?
