Let's have some consistency around here - either all commercial messages are
acceptable, or none. All whores allowed, or none at all... that is what I
say.

That's all funny stuff! Commercial messages are acceptable in *.marketplace
only.

Finally!

I've wanted to add an Editorial page to The $100 Hamburger website since
we
started it in 1996. After eight years four books and several reprinting
of
"The $100 Hamburger" book, I've found the time to do it. In additon to
our
views, there is a Letters to the Editor section. I truly hope that many
from
this group will contribute. Afterall debate is good and there is no
better
debate than in this News Group.

Excuse me, when you have the balls to sign a real name and a real email addy to
your posts, you have the right to call somebody else a whore. Until then,
buddy, stuff it up your ass.

Jay posts some good stuff about his airplane, his travels, his wife, and his
kids. So far all I've seen you post is drivel about your hifalutin' standards
of this newsgroup.

Yes, Jay posts stuff about his hotel. And yes, I get pretty g.d. tired of Jay
telling me to make reservations because rooms are going fast. But the other
side of that is that the man is trying his level best to build the best aviation
hotel in the world. I'm willing to cut him some slack.

And you, sir? What have YOU done selflessly to advance the cause of aviation?

Jim

I should point out that I am not your buddy.

He can post whatever he likes. But then so must others be able to post
commercial content without the wrath of some people around here. All I am
saying is be fair.

I have done absolutely nothing for the selfless advancement of aviation. I
have however done work in other areas but I'm not trying to compete with you
for some sort of halo that you seem to be wanting to claim. So you go ahead
and claim your "selfless advancement of aviation" award. There is nothing
quite like like putting a feather in your own cap.

Um . . . you do know that Jim Weir and Jay Honek are different people, right?
Wait! Has anyone ever seen them both together?

Jay makes a lot of good contributions to this group. You, on the other hand, seem
to be simply a foul-mouthed SOB.

You also seem to be a few degrees off plumb, Bob.

Then it seems that I have made my point. One guy gets blasted for posting
commercial content, the other does not. Are you the annointed keeper of this
newsgroup? Or is that Jim Weir, who seems to think that he is a major
contributor to the world at large?

I, too, have noticed that some here seem to have claimed squatters rights.

As I see it, Jay is offering a unique product and
trying to give something back to the group while he's doing it.
However he does it, he manages to be entertaining and (in
spite of politics) pretty inoffensive while doing it.

There's a fine line between spam and entertainment, and I
can't define it--but like art, I know what I like. And I like
Jay and intend to visit him sometime.

Well, hand buzzers and whoopee cushions are not what the group needs or
wants.

Jay Honeck posts are mostly on-topic, and interesting to me. While not yet
among those who have attained pilot status, my dream still lives; and if I
can stay "on plan" next year should be the year to begin.

Mr. Honeck's posts usually stimulate some discussion regarding aviation.
Others add to the dimension and considerable useful information is passed.
I've learned from these posts, and isn't this one of the goals of a
newsgroup? The fact that he also promotes his *aviation-related* business
is a small part of his posts, and certainly not worthy of plumb bob's
gutter speak.

OTOH, "plumb bob" whoever that is, generally has something negative, or
rude, or crude to say about another poster, or public figure, or newsgroup
policy. A quick Google search revealed such pleasantries from bob as:
"Them people on thah nuze groops just sez I gotta connect dis wire overhere.
I saved me a buck 'cos I shortzed the AP!"Idiot!or:
Hey moron. The temperature on any given day is not an indicator of an
increase (or decrease) of average global temperature. ****, you people
areTOTALLY retarded and:

You forgot. His real name is "Rene Steuben" a Republican paid whore and
liar.

Some may find this endearing, or mildly entertaining. However, it seems to
add little to the purpose of any newsgroup; about who's rules he
occasionally seems adamant. Maybe bob's attitude has deteriorated a lot
since he stopped smoking. Let's all wish him the best on that endeavor, and
maybe when he's sufficiently detoxified he'll be more charitable to those
who don't meet his standard of perfection.
