Todd,

I was referring to the part of my original post where I said: "And
please, no tangential discussion about using QFE for IMC approaches
- unless you have two altimeters in your glider..." since I had a
feeling it would crop up and divert attention from the issue at hand.

As far as the pseudo QFE - amazing what some people will do to avoid
doing a little thinking in the cockpit.

Great discussion by all involved - I guess I'll just have to bite the
bullet and become a CFIG so I can impose my will on others!
