It might be helpful to mention what part of the world you are in. You don't say where you're from, but looking at your message headers it seems it's the USA. Those outside the USA, particularly in Europe, stereotype Americans as lacking in knowledge about the rest of the world. This is reinforced by posters who assume that the readers of their post will also be in the USA. You see this with posts like "how many hours do I need to fly to keep my license?", "where can I buy a 2 inch widget?" or "For sale: Ford F250" without mentioning which country they are in. It seems the boot is on the other foot now. Unfortunately, because you couldn't work out which country uses the .no suffix or the LN registration prefix, the stereotype has just got a bit stronger. |

This glider...and many others are listed with pictures on
http://www.wingsandwheels.com/want_ads.htm as a general note....gliders do seem to be selling rather well for the "off season" the new listings for want-ads changes daily..several are being listed and several are being sold...there is little rhyme or reason to what types are selling as they range easily from very old to very new gliders.....buyers are, however, seemingly well educated..gliders listed for "over market" prices are not being sold, but those nice ones and those priced well sell rather quickly. It also appears that very few new gliders of any type are selling well... it could just be that we've reached somewhat of a market saturation....most manufacturers never planned on what they produced 30-40 years ago still being around..and still being enjoyed by many... tim "Asbjorn Hojmark" wrote in message city.dk...

I happen to know that LN, .no, and +47 all mean Norway, but I totally agree that it's good karma to mention what part of the world you're referring to when writing in international groups. -A (Who is in Denmark) -- The Usenet Sect -- Resistance is futile.
