Yeah, you aren't the only one.

Seems to be a trend - have you seen kids' school textbooks lately ?

Each page seems to have any text broken far beyond submission by irrelevant pictures, breakout boxes, sidebars, bubbles, and all in a cacaphony of fonts and sizes that would make any sane graphics designer weep. And that's the maths books. It's no wonder the kids are all hyperactive - a few pages attempted readng of it and my old brain was getting fried.

maybe it's just me. In spin training, I got out of the a/c grinning, and the CFI scolded me for not taking things seriously. They stopped spin Training what, thirty years ago?
Thought you were a committee these days [ http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/456874-af-447-thread-no-5-a-92.html#post6632144 ] ? You all went spin training at once ?
