Plank operators who have their own forums employ 1000s, not dozens or 100s, QED1. If members of a particularly large fraternity such as Olog/Bristow feel the need, we can always look at it.
This forum is designed to keep the topics which draw the most interest "on top", thereby automatically and continuously allowing all to "vote" on every single thread. It'll go away real fast if nobody is interested, QED2.
Many, if not most of the "techno" posters are in fact full time pilots themselves. If they are losing the rest of us, we might do well to question our own lack of knowledge rather than snipe at others for knowing more, QED3.
Final thought: As often as possible, I like to rub shoulders with my "betters". If I'm lucky, something might rub off.
