Pilot Chronicles is Looking for Pilots

Thanks for your response to our post. It is certainly not the intent
of Pilot Chronicles to compete with the message boards. What we


You keep referring to Usenet as a message board. Tells me you don't
really understand what Usenet really is, but that's okay. Because
it really is so amazing and so big that it's often hard to explain
and it can be hard to comprehend for someone that's new to the
internet.

provide is a focused approach to the presentation and cataloging of
pilot experience with functionality quite different from message
boards. The boards are great but the format just didn't fit into what
we were trying to accomplish. That's why we don't (and never will)
offer message boards on our site. We'll leave that to the Googles and
iPilots of the world. In fact, we've even listed the Google Aviation
Groups on our links page.

We're simply a group of dedicated pilots that want to express our
passion for flying and hopefully help other pilots in the process. I
hope you'll click on over for a visit sometime. I think you'll
appreciate what we're trying to do.

Look I have no problem with the fact that you're trying to pursue
something that you're passionate about. But, you don't fully
comprehend some things about Usenet and its denizens. What you're
doing is akin to going into a Starbuck's and saying please come over
to my house and drink your coffee, it's nicer and friendlier there.
Does that put things into perspective for you? I hope you don't
take this wrong but it seems like we're not getting through to you.
At least we're taking the time to try and explain things. There is
that.

Good luck on your site.

If you're a pilot with a hair-raising story to tell (and who doesn't
have at least one of those), we encourage you to share it at Pilot
Chronicles.

Here's the deal, this heirarchy is where the stories are....
So there's no incentive to go to that site and post stories
since this is where it's done. It's called Usenet and it's
been around longer than the www. If you're trying to generate
traffic to your site there are other ways to do that. But I suspect
you won't find a lot of people here to post stories there.

You could maintain and host the rec.aviation.piloting FAQs or
you could maintain a list of unique GA planes or like that.

Pilot Chronicles is a free website where pilots learn from the
experiences of other pilots. It's a great way to improve your
knowledge and situational awareness. While you're visiting we
encourage you to chronicle one of your own stories - talk about what
happened, how you reacted, and what you learned from the experience.

This is a brand new website so you will be among the first visitors.
We hope you'll help get this project off the ground (bad pun intended)
by posting a story or two. Happy flying!

A good pilot is always learning... a GREAT pilot shares what they've
learned.
