I just found out how the original SAC Condo sale post had its demise..... A Canadian pilot used the abuse flag, he pressed the button but at least emailed the original poster suggesting that airing Canadian laundry in public was inappropriate. What that person failed to note was that the Canadian laundry has been dirty for years and no manner of quiet discussion has succeeded in removing layers of secrecy. The web is stale since not even the Association uses it to communicate to members. They do not spend one penny (a penny now dropped by the Canadian Mint BTW)... they do not spend one nickel on either www.sac.ca nor any forum anywhere. They set out to keep the membership in the dark, excepting only a 4 times per year mailed hard copy journal. An SSA member can imagine how he/she would feel if the SSA web site was never updated to show current news and current issues.

I find this Google Groups abuse process to be a little too easy to invoke. Does this mean I can 'hide' as many posts as I want with one click? If so, I have lost some respect for Google. I hope they at least have a real person checking for abuse of the abuse process. I stopped using a news reader years ago. Maybe I need to go back to one, what a shame.
