No - you are certainly and definitely not alone in this situation (but I shant go into that again - cheers NATS!) but, at the end of the day, if what you post is always the truth, not detrimental to flight safety or specific individuals and not commercially sensitive - then you will break no laws and management will have very very little grounds on which to punish you.. .. .Trust me, I know. . .. .PPRuNe is frowned upon BIG TIME at my unit - we are all warned strictly and regularly not to post on here - but nothing is ever said by my colleagues and I that isn't true or that causes problems - I'm sure of that. . .. .I am aware that I am somewhat of a hunted character at my unit thanks in-part to some of my postings. I have though, managed to keep my true identity secret - so it can be done no matter how hard you are hunted. . .. .Disinformation my friend - works wonders <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . .. .Saying that - I don't think I've ever ever posted anything that I haven't truly believed and that hasn't been true to the core. And where I have been wrong I've admitted it publicly. . .. .I am tempted on a shift by shift basis to "come out" but wonder what the point of that would *really* be?. .. .I happen to repsect most of my managers - I have a good working relationship with them and would hope they know me well enough to respect my opinions and ideas and honour my need for freedom of speech.. .. .Chance I can't take though.. .. .A lot of good comes from PPRuNe lets not forget. . .. .I've showed many many people around, met many crews, gained many refreshing perspectives, done the salesman and helper bit to potential recruits, liased with colleagues from other units (something that is no longer possible via visits thanks to the cutbacks) and above all else learnt a hell of a lot that helps me in my job.. .. .Keep it truthful and don't hold back but bear in mind those red words at the bottom of the page.. . . . <small>[ 22 March 2002, 23:43: Message edited by: niteflite01 ]</small>
