I have read the forums on PPRuNe for a very long time, and have only just recently begun to contribute.
The Best thing about PPRuNe is the DIVERSITY of posts, most are informative, a few self-indulgent, and the odd one petty.
But isn't that a reflection of our society.
It would be a pretty boring forum without different personalities and formats.
And if you don't want to read the crap, move to the next thread.
