Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please, can we keep the discussion on a friendly and sporting level.
Restating the basics ..
(a) if it is (even tenuously) related to professional flying and relevant to technical matters .. it's a goer. While I have no problem with some thread wander and creep .. we need to keep some sort of focus on the original thread topic lest the whole thing degenerate into utter anarchy ..
(b) does it need to have a definitive answer ... of course not
(c) will we permit ignorant and boorish behaviour .. absolutely not
My apologies to
(a) those who have approached the topic seriously .. I should have stepped in much earlier
(b) to those whose posts were intended as light humour .. I may have been a bit heavy handed as I waded through just now
