Boy, is this a tough crowd!

For the record, the number of 80 entrants was from someone participating in the event, but they expected some no-shows. So I do not apologize for that information.

Second, I didn't make a "thinly veiled" criticism of the event, I DIRECTLY criticized it!

Third, calling me a "troll" or an "asshole" or whatever is childish and reflects much more on the author than myself. Get real, try being an adult for a change!

Finally, only one of you, indirectly, addressed the original question: how many is too many? Having an efficiently run organization has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with this issue!! That only means the gliders are launched faster; once they are in the air the event organizer is out of the picture.. Most of you guys are trying to defend Bruno - that IS NOT the issue! The issue is how many gliders can a site accommodate safely. And the Big Sky theory is BUNK! You get a marginal day and that theory is out the window. And on good days it is bunk as well; lift organizes itself into streets that pilots fly at high speed at each other.

Safety just doesn't seem to be a high priority here - one of my detractors here has been "disinvited" from an airport for repeated unsafe flying practices.

Okay, fire away, I can take it.

Uh oh. He's found the caps lock key.

Come on Darryl, is that your BEST comeback? No "asshole" or "jerk" or "idiot" pejorative? Really, you can do BETTER!

I think everybody here takes the asshole, jerk and idiot part as given....
