Yo Danny
Hi Danny,
Firstly, thanks for creating PPRUNE. There are many pretenders to the throne in aviation forums but none pulls it together in quite the way PPRUNE does. Its strength is actually its strength. Nowhere else, that I've been able to find anyway, has the reach that this site does.
As far as D&G is concerned I must support the position that the ability to shop for local issues in one place is invaluable. Whilst I can see that airing our little issues in the bigger forums specific to an issue type (airports etc) gives us a broader reach than we get in D&G in terms of people who might have the answers, invariably that portion of the D&G community that wear the expat badge refer us to other relevant threads. Sure it's lazy but it has been working.
The legal matter is something only you can deal with. Let conscience be your guide but I'd hate to see what has been a fantastic ride over the past few years end with a whimper.
OK Back to creating mischief and mayhem
