Martin seems to be talking about buying a second hand glass glider and
keeping it for ten years, so I don't think he can be accused of the
snobbery which undeniably exists...

And I wasn't addressing Martin, sorry if it sounded like it, but taken
as a general dialogue with others as it had happened. More like a
sarcastic statement that I wish I had more than just thought. I doubt
that any at the local field saw it coming, I don't show anything
bothering me until I explode, then I destroy everything in sight. And
I know, (Sorry, Judy) that there were many times that I belonged in my
truck headed for home, not in the cockpit behind the Pawnee.
Needless to say, on those days I did not fly well.

The number of new people is probably controlled by outside forces, but
retaining them is controlled from within. there is no "magic bullet"
that will cure it, it's going to take a lot of bullets from individual
effort.
