Hi - haven't read all this thread yet but if I get the gist of it, I'd say:-
PPrune - the clue's in the name - "professional pilots"
... which means anyone who's not a PP should generally just but out.
I say that from the perspective not being a PP (just a SLF) who gains much interest and enjoyment from reading the views of the pro's but who tries to restrain myself from posting on a forum where 99 times out of 100 (make that 999 times out of 1000), I don't know what I'm talking about.
Oh well, broke my golden rule there ...
But my message would be to keep the Pprune faith and don't be persuaded into some alternative by the interruptions of non-PP's.
