I've had it.

I hate cross-posting, but just this once I will give in to the temptation.
The rec.aviation newsgroups have become useless. There is very little "meat"
in the postings...sushidot is about the only poster interested in learning
anything. If anyone is looking for me, I hang out in the AOPA Forum, Pilots
of America, and Purple boards.

as well.
Hope to see you there.

I registered on one today and am already registered on the other, but,
it's a shame it has to be that way. Seems like a two or three years ago
this was a very productive and informative forum. Usenet has pretty
much become an anarchic wasteland. I suppose any public forum will
eventually decay into that sort of thing eventually.

Usenet isn't the Web.

It didn't even originate on the internet.

Usenet isn't the Web.

True too, but the traceability and personal responsibility parts are the same. When folks use their real name they do
tend to act different...

Which AOPA forum are you guys using. I am a member, of course, but
never noticed any forum. What section is it in?

This is the URL:

http://forums.aopa.org/

The forums link appears way down on the lower right hand corner of the main
AOPA web page under the less-than-clear header "Join the community of AOPA
Members".

Nothing new about that...

difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind
