Say Goodbye Lennie

Dearest Lennie,
I do not feel it necessary to set my kill file

I simply suggested that if you are not happy with soaring
why in the world would you feel it necessary to waste
your valuable time on all those so called elitists
ranting about why you did or did not quit.
Very Humbly



Also very humbly i could say that i agree with part of that Lennie says,
that is soaring is too expensive and takes too much time for a lot of
people who could otherwise enjoy this sport and would very much like to
do it. I think especially to young people to whom this sport is
particularly fit, for a lot of reasons. I had the luck to belong to
clubs with a fair number of young men and girls and this was very nice.
But it seems that the mean age in clubs here is more and more shifting
to the high end. Apparently the Germans have succeeded in keeping prices
low enough so as to attract youngs. This is a very very important
point to keep in mind. Even if you get rich enough to afford to fly
for yourself this doesn't mean you can also pay for your children, etc.
Keeping prices low is an absolut must, i have alraedy ranted far too
much about that.
