Those among the readership who believe that "hangar flying" is

the group's charter:

**********************************************
* Information pertinent to pilots of general aviation aircraft

* rec.aviation groups. Topics include, but are not limited to
* flying skills, interesting sights, destinations, flight
* characteristics of aircraft, unusual situations, handling
* emergencies, working with air traffic control, international
* flights, customs and immigration, experiences with
* ground support facilities, etc.

***********************************************

These topics comprise a pretty good definition of "hangar flying," IMO.

You'll note that the first word of the newsgroup's charter is
'information.' If an article fails to provide INFORMATION that falls
within the newsgroup's guidelines, it isn't appropriate, IMO.

And 99% of the imformation/stories/chatter here is of the antidotal
variety which provides the best information available, IE..."There I
was...." Although threads arguing the point... well, I guess they are
informational too. :-))
