Mad (Flt) Scientist
I agree a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing in any field, and agree airline pilots aren't the only people occasionally frustrated by "the partially informed seeking to educate them about their own discipline."
However, we're discussing whether there should be a restricted forum on an aviation website where professional pilots can discuss flying matters with other professional pilots - undistracted by the partially informed.
If this was a legal website, I'd be in favour (for the same reason) of a restricted 'lawyers only' forum where lawyers could discuss legal matters with other lawyers.
