And Jim Jones was just handing out Kool-Aid.

It was Flavor Aid ...not Kool-Aid

Small nit, unless you work for Kool-Aid.

Sometime they quit and then get stabbed in the back. Actually I once
met a gruntled Former Zoom Employee. There is only one AFAIK.


Ron Wanttaja used to be a big time Zoom supporter and part time employee.


Ron did weigh about 30 pounds more back then :-)

In article , Richard Riley says...

You got Tom P's email address? I need to do the same. I won't remain
a member if this stands. I'll just change my annual pilgramage to Sun
n Fun.


I wrote to the editorial dept and they wrote back saying it was forwarded to
Tom. I do have his office phone # and plan on calling in a couple days.
We really need everyone to let EAA know that this was a dumb move .Without
naming names I can say that this decision did not sit well with certain EAA
staff members.

Not quite; I was never an employee, though I was listed as an associate editor
in one of Campbell's magazines...without my knowledge. If a friend hadn't
brought a copy of the magazine home from Sun-N-Fun, I never would have known.

Richard's description does apply to other folks, such as Al Staats (Zoom booster
on RAH one day, Zoom employee the next, RAH-15 co-defendant not long after).
Tim Kerns is probably the latest example.

Me too. I guess our only chance now is to go to Pinkneyville. You know,
whatever else is said about Zoom, he was mildly entertaining. Of course, I
was never sued. When I heard about the P1 temperature 0 (Pitot) tube, I
about bust a gut. And he honestly sounded like he believed it. You just
don't find folks like that every day.

Unless that was an imposter at Pinckneyville, you now are one of "the
Ilk"... with all the benefits and privileges that membership entails.

Ah, I didn't realize that was the only requirement - I thought I had to be
threatened by Zoom as well.
