Default Our 27th Consecutive Oshkosh -- anyone else going?

Can't speak for Jay, but I'd be willing to bet a six pack that if Maxwell
showed up with a smile instead of his usual crap, the guys might even
offer him a drink :-)


Always!

I've met some of the more infamous curmudgeons off this newsgroup (and other
chat groups), both at the hotel and at fly-ins. Without exception, they've
been TOTALLY different in-person than they are "in writing". Maybe not
outgoing and gregarious, but certainly not unpleasant.

Written communication -- especially for those who choose to remain
anonymous -- often appears much harsher than those same words would sound if
spoken. It's something I must continually guard against, since I tend to
sound stuffy and boorish in writing, when we all know I am debonair and
classy in-person.

:-)

I don't know what Maxwell has against parties, or my signature line, but I
suppose without Bertie around maybe he's simply lonely...?
