I originally signed up to try and get over a fear of flying i had bizarrely picked up after years of frequent flying - read up on everything technical I could understand, loved the community and hung around.
I can't imagine an Internet without PPRuNe now - it's an amazing source of information/flaming/genius .... reading Pilots debate the ins and outs of procedures fascinates me at times, plus the SLF forum gives me some perspective that it's not just me getting jaded with the whole flying thing
Oh, and I've now moved to Sydney and have no reason to moan anymore as flying domestic Qantas Sydney->Melbourne every week is a joy compared to Glasgow->London!
