The people who wanted to use this newsgroup to read/participate in a discussion about piloting lose when the group becomes cluttered with discussions/arguments/bickering about something else. It's similar to opening your email expecting to find messages that are relevant to you but instead find you've been spammed with dozens or more of useless crap. If anything goes, then we might as well get rid of topical groups like rec.aviation.Piloting. |

Maybe you should reinstall Outlook Express, seeing as how your copy of it is so broken that you aren't able to junk a thread. I don't post to you very often for obvious reasons, but I'll suggest to you that the man has a point. In fact, I was going to post something similar and decided at the last second because of the people involved I'd pass on it. The problem isn't "junking the thread". The problem is that this thread creeped into a political bash and in doing so, left the stated purpose of the group, which I believe is aviation and not politics. I've seen several fine newsgroups destroyed in this manner and I'm sure that you along with the others who enjoy this group wouldn't like to see that happen here. You personally were not the culprit in this case, but you helped establish the "mood" for what the poster you have answered so bluntly tried to express. You simply used an unnecessary political analogy that was of course picked up by the next poster under you. it was this that established the creep, and the thread ran away with it; completely off topic and of course devoted from that point on with political opinion and bashing. Just so you understand where I'm coming from personally on this, I'll tell you that I'm not the Internet Police, and if you people want to bash away with your political opinions on this aviation group, so be it. I'm not the least bit bothered by it, nor am I disturbed in any way. Its YOUR newsgroup. I'm only passing on my observations to those who might not desire that this group be lost to political agenda based dialog. What you folks do here is your business. FWIW, I strongly suggest that all of you take a step back and think for a moment before you use political comment on your newsgroup. I'd not like to see this group go the way of so many others on Usenet. Thank you Dudley Henriques |
