Weather here is very very socked in and has been that way since Sunday
morning. Not sure when it is going to clear.

At least the rain ended for now. It was actually worse yesterday. I
gotta get back up and finish up my IFR training. Check ride is coming up
pretty soon. I need about 8 more hours of actual or sim.

Yesterday would have been a wonderful day to get a couple hours of actual
with your instructor! Although it was a bit windy underneath, it was pretty
smooth in the clouds and on top (about 6-8k).

Get the IFR and then you will be eager to fly on days like yesterday!

I agree with your assessment (sp?). However, looking at how some people
even hijack this thread to insult group members while hiding behind
their "simple explanations of a plain guy" mask, I am clueless at an
explanation.

Sorry, I didn't mean to single you out -- you and Martin were just
examples of what we're ALL guilty of. Thus the "Quija Board" theory.

Actually right now would be perfect as well. Unfortunately my instructor
just took a part 135 job in Ct so I am currently not in a committed
relationship! :^ ) I've got 2.2 of actual. I think it is fun. A little
vertigo the first time I punched a hole in a cloud. But I got used to
it. The training really matters. Scan scan scan.

A lack of a response in this group does not always indicate an acceptance
of a presented view.


Exactly right. When the "Thrown out of a FBO" thread got politicized, I stopped
reading it. There must have been dozens of messages I never even glanced at....
no telling what I missed. Restoration of the Third Reich? Pol Pot's preferred
sexual positions? Who knows?

I nuked Numbnuts for .... this?

As there are many participants from the US, it should be understood that
we have no basic quarrel with genocide or lynching...

Peter,

Sure. But IMHO there are some views that should elicit a responce from a
majority of the group here in order to save its civility.

Jay,

Somehow, I doubt that. Next time, take yourself as an example. You
started that thread and numerous other that degenerated in the same
way.

You have a point there.

I am not sure what you mean here Neil but I for one DO have a problem with
genocide and lynching!

I've noticed an increase in spam email, too. An order of magnitude!
Altho I've got 2 or 3 spam filters on my email (depending on the
address) that send the spam to /dev/null, I always check the count,
just out of curiousity. "debora????" has been incredibly prolific
trying to push scam stocks the past week or so.

Monday morning I had over 150 spam email (fortunately, sent to /dev/null)
Even then, 3-5 still got thru 3 layers of filters!
