If indeed you, and others of your ilk do in fact have an aviation background then why not give some indication of such experience on your public profile?
You mean like this Chuck?
It seems my motivation in joining here is a bit different than other people's. I'm not here to beat my chest, drag out my c.v. for all to see, and generally make it all about me. I'm here to see what others have to say, perhaps learn a thing or two, and contribute where I can.
To date my only real contributions have been on the medium itself, as in all my years dealing with people, I can't say I've ever seen anything quite like these 'forums.' Odd culture to be sure.
If you're going to leap to the defense of someone who in turn is jumping to conclusions about me "and my ilk," then I could gently suggest you apply your standards with a little broader brush stroke.
To be on topic, I think for Canadian aviation information this particular site is nearly useless, just not enough going on. There are some good and active parts of the site however, but there seems to be a lot of nastiness floating around.
