You know something Ernie? You are right. I *was* doing exactly what I
was complaining about. I was trying to push my view that people should
be allowed to do what they want to do in their airplanes so long as it
is legal. (The legality thing is another point but I am not going to get
into it here.)
The RPA should be what its participants want it to be. If they want to
require nomex flight suits and prevent some people from participating,
that is their prerogative. I am a participant and I have paid my dues. I
was expressing my opinion but that is as far as it goes.
I was hoping I could convince the RPA not to be exclusionary but that
seems not to be the case. As politically-non-correct as it is, I think
groups *should* be able to exclude people they don't want, whether they
be blacks, women, jews, people without flight suits, or guys who talk
too much.
As for this list, it is the only completely open Yak and CJ forum out
there. The overlap is such that it is easy to get off on the RPA here
when this is not the RPA forum. My bad. I should have been doing this on
the RPA chat forum, not here.
I'll shut up now about flight suits. As doc says, the horse is well and
truly dead.
And I *really* am apologizing for getting carried away. I'm sorry.
