He did read r.a.p around the time that he was writing
Free Flight.

Yep, that was fun. I'm sure new pilots here (if there are any) would find
it hard to believe this group once engaged men of his talent on a regular
basis.

I wonder what he'd make of RAP now?

Beats me.

I met him through a users group in DC back in the 80s.

Haven't seen or talked to him in person for the last
10 or 15 years. I hear about him through a mutual
friend who is himself not a Usenet denizen.

Taking a completely uninformed guess, I'd say he
probably drifted out of the group six or eight years
ago when other things became more interesting in his
life--long before the current spate of flamewars.
