One too many times I have, of late, obliquely referred to Jet Pilot and his posts to the forum. If there were members of the forum who were offended, I apologize. I give you my pledge that I will NEVER again refer to his or any other abusive comments in any way. To anyone considering leaving the forum, please reconsider. While it's frustrating to have abusive commentary come in over the 'net, may I remind you that you are in no way obligated to read them. Someone once named the tendency to feel compelled to answer a question, even a distasteful one as, "the tyranny of the question", I would suggest that email has created the tyranny of the post. Curiosity, habit, or simply going through the latest deliveries to the inbox make it all too easy to have untoward content inflicted upon oneself. Do yourself a favor and simply delete the post individually or set up a filter to delete them automatically.
Please do not leave the group. This is one of the only forums where information is available specifically directed to these unique aircraft. We have already lost a number of members permanently due to mishaps while flying. Their loss is keenly felt but their last contribution to the pilot community is the notice that things went wrong and a post crash discussion of the crash and evidence left behind. It would be a terrible further loss if someone else repeated their loss by not having access to this forum. Again, please reconsider leaving.
I post a lot about my various projects here for two reasons. One, in the hopes that it will help others, and two, I write up everything for out EAA chapter's newsletter anyway so I take advantage of the forum for commentary and review before I write the finished article.
