Bar Shaker,
It was a good story and it was thought provoking and all but the most anal of readers would have taken on board the essence of what you said.
Unfortunately most flying bulletin boards are frequented by people who impose their holier than though attitude at the first opportunity - it is one reason I have stopped posting on anything other than things which are really close to my heart.
Don't worry about the poster who ridiculed a part of your post by taking it completely out of context, the vast majority of readers know exactly what you mean't.
Read back through this entire thread and look how many posts referred to the original thread and how many were crtiticisms of other peoples comments.
Chin up - Here's hoping your next flying day is blessed with fluffy cumulus and gentle zephyrs. Keep The Faith, Keep flying whilst others just talk about it!!
Tony :-)
