OK lets deal with this issue of my name..
1. I am not a member of the board or of any other association or club or part of any commercial interest related in any way to soaring. i am a simple member for past 15 years period end of conversation.
Plain english. I am not speaking with any hidden agenda. If you don't believe that tough **** and put me on ignore.

2. I choose not to post my name for a wide variety of reasons that make a whole lot of sense to me and have absolutly nothing to do with soaring. Not the least of which is that I have terminal cancer and am about to begin some very heavy surgeries (not for the first time), which probably will not be too successful.. OK get it.. i choose not to put my name out there because i do not want my wife to have to deal with wingnuts who took my name off the internet during this time.. That is only reason #1.. there are several others that are frankly none of your stinking business and which have absolutly no connection to soaring and which do not impact the validity of my comments on this board.
SO dig it or put me on ignore.

3. Ideas, opinions and suggestions should be dealt with by a reader based upon their merits and not upon the signiture. That is one of my problems with some organizations (the ssa included, but not exclusively) All too often "BIG NAMES" use their celebrity to branch out . Do you really want Barbara Striesand m making foreign policy? is she really qualified? There are a heck of a l;ot of people who will listen to her or read her ramblings just because she signs them. But in fact isn't it the idea that is important?

My ideas, comments and analysis is offered in a pure form. There are no hidden agendas.
So far the jerks on this board who are circling the wagons around the establishment that took us down this path have sought to divert a reasonable discussion of my ideas and opinions by making a lack of a signiture the issue, NOT THE IDEAS.. I feel sad for the SSA and for those who fall for this well proven tried and true tactic . It is employeed by many people including athletes who get busted for steriods or such and then try to divert the conversation to the system or some other nonesense. Politicians are masters of this game. IT IS A GAME PLAYED TO DIVERT A DISCUSSION AWAY FROM THE ISSUES.
THAT IS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING.. plain and simple.. you are seeking to make my lack of a signiture the issue, not the points that i raise. Over the past weeks there have only been one or two responses that presented rational differing points of view. That is a shame. I have certainly raised many issues that need to be discussed.

So once again I have raised the issue of the board hiding stuff from members.. And now There are those who choose NOT to directly discuss or to comment on THE ISSUE.. but who are trying to say that since i am not putting my name on the idea the idea is not valid. That is a logic that simply does not stand up and is total bull****.

So for you two who are circling the wagons... just how do you feel about the issue??? how do you feel that the board is not being forthcoming and that transparancy is not happening???

you now know that i am in no way connected commercially or organizationally in any way with soaring. I am a simple pilot who flies often. thats it.

I also have the experience and ability to understand this mess. while we are at it.. NO I WILL NOT BE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO RUN FOR DIRECTOR OR TO ASSUME ANY ACTIVE ROLE.. I AM DYING

SCREW YOU GUYS!!!

LOL@Bob - That's what many of us have been saying to him right along.
It's not that some of what he says doesn't have merit - it's that his
unwillingness to either identify himself and/or actually get involved
in fixing things (other than writing complaining posts) is a major
detraction from any valid points that he might make.
