Good God man,

The "Military Affairs" thread to which you must be referring is over two months old. It was the result of some e-mail I received and provoked a lively discussion. My final comment there was as follows:

>> Well boys and girls, I think we may have just about run out of steam on this one.

Having received all your input I see no valid reason why the AAC and other military rotorheads shouldn't stay right here where it's warm and cozy. <<

Since then, I have made no further comment on any posts and I have NEVER deleted any. So how you can now lay at my feet your PERSONAL opinion of this forum's entertainment value is a mystery to me. A moderator has no control over what is posted here. His only function is to lurk in the wings in case things get out of hand somehow and to post any relevant information he may have come across elsewhere.

>> So lets have an open forum and get rid of interjections from Popes, Archbishops, MODERATORS and any other 'Hollier Than Thou' interferons. <<



This kind of personal attack is probably something which a moderator should try to temper, especially because it is made behind the veil of anonymity and therefore somewhat cowardly as well. Then again, maybe it isn't an attack at all but a well deserved compliment. "Hollier" means "happier" in the vernacular, doesn't it?

Strangely, my most recent post (only hours before yours) was about some airplanes taking a bubble bath. So your moderator, for one, at least made an attempt to insert some humor here. Can you say the same for yourself?

My advice to you is that, instead of (rudely) complaining to/about the moderator, YOU start some forum threads which might appeal to you and show the rest of us how it's done.

P.S.: Are you even a pilot, professional or otherwise? Your profile seems to indicate not. Please note that this forum is first and foremost, but not exclusively, intended to give professional pilots a way to exchange information relevant to our professional activities. We are really not here to amuse people who describe their occupation as "plane spotting".
