For what it's worth.....
ImNot, you're correct, this is a "rumour" network. It's also very well known within the industry, and used by many people as a source of facts (rightly or wrongly). Personally, I tend not to post rumours (I don't know very many of them!
), but I do post my opinion from time to time, and I always try to make it clear when something is my opinion, as opposed to fact. I think it's important that, when people are posting information, they make it clear where the information comes from, and how reliable it is, and it seems CC didn't do that this time.
As for eyeinthesky's opinion of whether CC should be let lose on a milkfloat - I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but it does seem harsh. I've only had the pleasure of meeting CC once, but, in my opinion, she's a lovely girl who wouldn't know how to harm a fly, let alone want to (even if she hasn't turned up to any of the bashes that she said she'd turn up to since I met her!)
But CC, I think you should pay attention to what eyeinthesky says. The vast majority of PPRuNers haven't been fortunate enough to meet you, and their opinion of you is based entirely on what you post on this board. Since your identity is well known, you do need to be careful. Everyone who knows you will have no doubt that you are posting in good faith. But I'd suggest that, for the benefit of those who don't know you, you pause before pressing the "Submit" button, and read what you've written. Identify anything you've said which could be contentious, and try to make it less so - either by qualifying it (e.g. "I've heard this from a source I believe to be reliable, but I can't confirm it...") or, if necessary, by removing it.
Now, can we stop this flame-war and get on with talking about flying please?
