There is dignity in flying any kind of glider. If
you don't believe that, then you are attempting to
use gliding as a social weapon instead of sport or
recreation.

I completely agree with that. However, do not confuse flying a glider
with training to fly a glider. For the latter there are better gliders
than a 2-33 - and I've got about 300 hours in the back seat of one.
