Wiretensioner:
Fully agree with your post, well put. When a perfectly reasonable question starts a new thread but contains the three most priclkly letters in rotary wing aviation (S, A & R) you can guarantee the whole thing will invariably degenerate into the now time honoured pi$$ing contest.
Please guys, keep the SAR threads relevant and on track. It's not difficult; after all, the thread creepers all know who they are!
