MASTERFUL SUBTERFUGE
Creamy
You are truly a master wordsmith and master of subterfuge. I don't know whether to compliment you personally on this or if it is rather part of the standard training package of your former employer?
Having looked at the totality of Bill Hamilton's postings I suggest you have taken a section out of context and used it with adroit legal skill to try to shaft Bill.
Truly, language was given us to hide our real thoughts and can be manipulated accordingly. For example, were I to state "you would be fortunate indeed to get Creampuff to work for you" it would have exactly opposite meanings depending on reader interpretation. Likewise the wife who put in the death notice for her husband "May he rest in peace, until we meet again" - depends on how you stress the "until". Your selection of the bits re Bill dovetails nicely into this category.
Good try mate but I suggest we could also examine the statement by our USA colleagues the Kings at the NAS Seminars that Ultralights are strong in Oz compared to USA. I have been trying to think of a reason and have discussed it with others and all we come up with is "The Regulator" in Oz - no matter how hard we tried we couldn't blame Bill Hamilton.

Also a nice attempt to damn Bill, oh man of two tribes.
Does your support for GA include freedom of debate or is it true that the censor has been gagging the AOPA Forum again? Is "a girl named "sue" " about to enter on the legal threat trail again and try to gag any comment that does not represent what a section of the AOPA Board would like to hear? Obviously "support for GA" means "do it our way".
Wouldn't it be better to ignore the slings and arrows and get on with the macro issues? Perhaps not - last time that happened and the message of joy and good things to come came back to AOPA members after the Mick Toller meeting he resigned shortly thereafter. Hey, that's a thought - how about a meeting with Anderson?
Cheers
