Chuck, SN3 - Guys you are entitled to your own opinion about flying night, IMC etc in single engine aircraft, that is your call. But we don't need the judgmental postings to go with it.
All flying is about personal risk assessment and risk mitigation. Every flight has an amount of risk and we do our best to offset those risks through training and preparation.
I am perfectly happy to fly SEP as described, but I am careful to apply my own mitigating factors before I conduct the flight just as many others are.
