Well I don't think I'm going to jump on this particular backslapping bandwagon. Not that I don't agree with you all to some extent but I detect the presence of a Jackboot here.
Do you really think by trying to take everything bad out of something you are left with everything good? Some Greek (or was he German) geezer went on about this at length but I can't remember exactly what it was he said or else I'd repeat it verbatim.
PPRuNe (and in particular Mil Pilots)COULD do without some of the more derisory threads but I would NEVER try to police it. Nope, warts and all I say and remember, it IS a public forum, YOU have the choice of whether you log on or not.
