Get Article on Flying!!

AOPA is paying out of their own budget to send you the junk mail, and they
aren't trying to hide their motives when they send it to you.

There budget that they get from members and ads. But like i said
before, you dont' have to register to see the articles.

So if you would like to be a part of this, please feel free to email
me. If you think i should remove the ads, i will.

You are completely missing the point.

The problem isn't the ads per se. They are simply the underlying motive
that shows why you felt a need to lie about the nature of your relationship
to the web site. The real problem is that you lied about the nature of your
relationship to the web site.

Writing articles takes time. Making them available on a web site costs
money (even if it's only a small amount). More power to the blogger who can
defray his costs by including unobtrusive ads in their web site. I've got
nothing against that.

Had you posted something like "I've written some articles in my blog that I
think would be of interest to you all, here's the link", that would've been
okay, even with the ads (especially if you acknowledged the web site is
ad-supported). But the moment you misrepresent the true nature of the site,
you've crossed the line to unacceptable behavior.

OK, i'm not gonna lie, you are right and i agree with you 100%, so i
would like to apologize to the group. Yes this is my website (blog),
yes its about aviation and flight training, and yes it is ad supported.
Some article were written by me, others were submited. Yes i do think
that they are interesting, and yes i think you should read them.

Thank you for viewing my articles and site.

Suggestion for iprintstl:
Most bloggers can spell, can proof and edit, and can correctly use
syntax and proper English. Work on it and then present your site and a
"must" read.

Most bloggers can do that?

I beg to differ. You must not read very many blogs if you think that most
are well-written.

Blog are mostly personal items, so people feel free to write what they
want. It is my blog and not a newspaper or magazine, so thank you, but
no i will write how i want because its my blog.

Why not reply to the person who was actually insulting your blog? Hint: it
wasn't me.

At the very least, you might try quoting the text to which you're actually
replying.

That said, whether you are writing a blog, posting to Usenet, or composing
your resume, good spelling and grammar *greatly* enhance the reader's
willingness to take what you have to say seriously. You hurt only yourself
when you insist on ignoring such things.

Want to avoid banner adds and crap? This will genereally improve your
Internet experience and frustrate many would-be spammers. Go to
http://www.mozilla.org/ and download the correct version for your
OS/computer. Next, go to these links and install the following extensions:

Fasterfox (improves performance; optional)
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/

NoScript (disables/enables JavaScript on a per site basis; optional -
recommended)
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/

Adblock (blocks adds from links unless you whitelist it - can add your
own; pure gold)
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/10/

Adblock Filterset.F Updater (Maintains a filter list for use with the
above; maintained by others tired of ads; pure gold)
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/

Of course this means you need to use Firefox for your browsing pleasure.
The benefits are lost if you use IE.

Your site would look much better if it weren't the standard WordPress
template a billion other sites use.

How about some originality in designed? (and writing too for that
matter)
