I found the article in the Washington Post interesting:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...070201186.html

But the comment right at the end "The Grob Twin Astir, the Cadillac of
two-seaters, snapped free, surfing upward on a rising column of warm
air" was amusing, because I actually like the Twin :-)

Ignoring the comparison (which I think is valid -- if you think a Twin
Astir is a "hot ship" you should try a Janus or a Duo Discus), what did
everyone think of the article?

Presuming it was written by a non-soaring-aficionado, superbly done, IMHO.
Nicely mixed non-soaring-related, operational facts/contentions with
participant-aspects/joys of the sport, while managing to avoid effusiveness
or condescension. The writer's journalism teachers might take issue though,
cuz I thought a writer's bias in favor of M-ASA's position could be sensed!
