RAH has become BORING... *no one with any interesting posts or questions.

BWB has been gone for well over a year and hadn't posted for a long time
before that but NO ONE has stepped up and filled the gap.

I know Billy had ****ed off a lot of people but at least he got people
thinking and posting.

His forte was the ability to "read" people and know the right buttons to
push.

With no one to do that RAH now lacks anyone with any interesting ideas
or posts...

Prove me wrong...

Can't prove you wrong when you are SOOOOOO Right! *I won't claim that
the Campbell, BWB, Chuck, and other (let them remain nameless) wars
were all that great but they sure as hell were NOT BORING! *I often
defended some of the off-topic discussions because they were, love
them or hate them, stimulation for keeping a lot of people active in
the forum. *Those same people were also the ones who would answer the
questions and pose new topics of discussion that enlightened and
sometimes amused. *Clearly, that is gone now and so are those who
contributed so much.

The "Good old days" are never quite a good as we would like them to
have been nor were they as bad as some would have us believe. *They
were what they were and there are many friendships that resulted from
them and have endured despite them.- Hide quoted text -

The concept of this arena was to share building experiences for
homebuilt aircraft. The topics were of great help in the beginning but
then egos weaseled their way into the conversations. What would start
as ' how best to skin a rudder' would drift into , my rot gut
moonshine is better then your booze. Building an experimental is a
dynamic and always evolving process. God help the guys who would
propose a new idea only to be flamed by a few very vocal "experts' who
heard from a friends cousins hairdressers stepchild that no way that
could that work. Most questions started out as someone thinking out
loud and instantly the "group' would start their, my dicks bigger
then yours, my guns are bigger then yours, my motorcycle is faster
then yours, my explosions are louder then yours, etc etc etc. Too bad
they didn't have a usenet group for REC, bragging and bull****ting. A
few guys drove the hardcore builders away and now ask , what the ****
happened.??????

Off my soapbox now and off to go fly my experimental with a ( god
forbid) auto engine conversion in it. GGGG
