It is a credit to Dick Smith that he has taken the time to respond to this debate, in which many of us Australian pilots - professional, sport, leisure, and student - have a profound interest in seeing FULLY discussed.
Imho, VoR presents a well-disciplined, reasoned, logical, and knowledgeable argument based upon FACTS.
Dick Smith appears to me, to base much of his argument on his own personal experience, and how he THINKS/BELIEVES the system could be improved based loosely upon the North American system.
It's a pity to see Dick Smith become obsessed with trying to prove that VoR is Adrian Dumsa - something that both have denied.
Even if it WERE correct though, VoR uses FACTS relevant to the debate, versus personal attack to discredit Dick Smith.
Please try to stick to the ISSUE, Dick, by playing the ball and not the man (whom you think VoR is).
You'll garner far more respect from EVERYONE else, if you will adhere to the core issues, and support your statements with established FACTS.
Thank you both sides.
