Sadly, this forum has become the Bertie Show 24/7, diving inexorably into

Just as the troll hoped we would. In the end, he outsmarted us all.

Farewell, Bob. It's been an honor knowing you.

Check out the Pilots of America forums. It's moderated, the group is savvy
and friendly, and no nonsense. I just this moment got a post from Bob.
Actually, if you have the time, spread the word to Montblack and the rest
of your email loop as well.
Hope to see you over there. I posted a simple hello post and received 10
answers welcoming me over there; not a negative or unrelated to aviation
response in the bunch :-)

Bertie

That's like the guy who pooped in the swimming pool wondering why everyone
is getting out of the water.

Bertie, you've done more damage to this NG than Mx, Splappy, or a dozen
others who preceeded you. Your behavior here is inexcusable.

Thanks for the help Kyle. I'm glad somebody has some balls around here.

How does one "damage" a newsfroup?

Do you even really know what one *is*?

BG the AOPA Forum, Pilots of America, and Purple boards.

I might follow you there also. The kooks and attention seekers have
taken over any forum not moderated. These days, building an RV, the
only half-useful forum is Vans Air Force, which is moderated. I've
heard the AOPA Forum is anti-experimental but I'll give it a go.

Too bad, because the Usenet format is still far superior to the
"forum" format. Very low bandwidth required for pure text and all
groups in one convenient tool (your newsreader). Using GNUS (Emacs) I
can get through a dozen different groups in 2 to 3 minutes. With the
online, web-based forums it takes far longer to cruise through the
posts. Gotta love the old Un*x tools, still the best for productivity.

I agree. I participate in a couple of motorcycle forums and find the
user interface overly complex and hard to use as compared to good old
usenet. Some things were just right from the start and usenet is one of
them.

Dudley
I did the same. I've been on rec.aviation since 1995, and feel the
time has come to move on.
So long.
