There are plenty of pilots in the world. Moderated forums and groups typically have a stifling atmosphere, unfortunately. I can readily understand why you would avoid moderated forums. What has been spawned here on Usenet would NEVER fly on a web based moderated forum. -- Dudley Henriques |

Also, Jim Logajan is experimenting with setting up a Google Group. Also,http://forums.aopa.org/ The AOPA groups are a fine alternative as you say. The only reason I ommitted them is because I believe they require membership in AOPA to access them. To do that I'd actually be spamming the group. The forums I'm recommending are free access. I agree with you that if anyone is willing to join or is already a member of AOPA, their forums would indeed be an alternative to Usenet. Not sure about the membership requirement however. Will check on this. -- Dudley Henriques Yes. membership is required, though it is pretty cheap - $39 a year, and a pretty good deal at that. FWIW, I usually define spamming as cross-posting non-relevant, commercial stuff to a massive number of groups. In any event, if plugging AOPA makes me a spammer, I am fine with that. I do sort of wish there was just one board, instead of the big three, as I do not feel like checking three boards a day. But then again, choice is a great thing (assuming there is any significant difference between the three). |

Can't speak for DH, but my purpose in plugging the AOPA forum has nothing to do with a desire to "dilute the group". Granted, it may have that effect, but that is not the motivation. My motivation is to help people that are like me (i.e. looking for real discussion) find what they need. I'll still check this NG, but I want others (especially fellow students) to know what else is out there. |
