I hope we can all agree that people need to TRIM THEIR POSTS!!! (It's to the point that if it happens - great!! If not - oh well) I agree that long posts should be trimmed, however, the post the jumping Jim was complaining about wasn't even a full page long! It was 20 lines by my count. Hardly worth the time to type a complaint. Matt |

Who is the idiot? http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/brox.html http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html Hey, Mr. Wier is too lazy to roll the wheel on his mouse. Why should he give a damn if top posting makes followup articles impossible to follow? Chronology is only important to authors who have consideration for their readers. :-) |

No, the national command authority does, by either direct or standing orders. The prohibited area designates an area where friendies should not enter without proper identification and permission. The controlling agency (or their superiors, all the way up to the NCA) determine what response is appropriate response to a threat. Even assuming deadly force was available, this particular prohibited area isn't large enough to afford the theoretical deadly force to be engaged in time to "protect" against an airplane. Pete Do you know what a CIWS (Close In Weapons System) is? Its a radar controlled Gatling gun. It is used as a "last ditch ship defense weapon" and its range is intended for that one to two mile area.. and under several thousand feet. Radar controlled. If its set to "live" it does the job automatically. Who is to say there isn't one on a sub tender, and this is the airspace restriction that they need to Dave |

But whether there is or not, the Prohibited Area doesn't create that; the order would. [...] Who is to say there isn't one on a sub tender, and this is the airspace restriction that they need to Well, for one, the fact that no such defense has been described. The Prohibited Area is described as protecting the sub base, not as protecting aircraft that might fly close enough to be shot down. In any case, the sub base is not at risk, and needs no such defense. To even hint at the potential for killing unarmed, innocent civilians would be ludicrous. Pete |

People are now idiots if they don't top post? It would appear that RST Engineering has problems. Although I can see why with a 64k modem and a 386 he is unimpressed |

I agree.
I have flown by the base numerous times, I just hug the mountain range to the North, and if someone were to decide to overfly the base it's barely 5 N. miles and would take just about no time.
