PPRuNe Admin are being very polite to those moaning because they can't have their favourite toy to play with. Let's look it this another way. Capt. PPRuNe needs to study to attain / maintain a required level of knowledge, presumably to remain employed, PPRuNe needs cash to maintain it, the cash is supplied (as is the free IT expertise) by Capt PPRuNe. If Capt P does not have the necessary degree of knowledge he will not be able to earn the cash required to keep PPRuNers in the website to which they have become accustomed. So, NO STUDY TIME = NO PPRuNE Is that simple enough for you to understand?
