Now come on chaps/chapesses... I joined pprune a few months back as I had heard that it was (potentially) a good source of knowledge and where people could post valid information and get peoples opinions on ideas/experiences. @@ NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, a majority of what is here I see as good honest information/enquiries/questions - its the other bit! @@
More and more frequently I read threads that start with some honest information that can be backed up, only to see the person who posted it get slapped/slagged off with all the:
"probably some kind of jerk, sits behind his PC with his copy of Penthouse dreaming about flying but couldn't coordinte his joystick and rudder..." or
"Nah it can't be true, I heard such and such ... and this is just bull..."
These are just examples, re-interpretations if you like of things I read here. OK, granted, this is a RUMOUR network; but I don't see that as an excuse for some of the insults/comments people receive and some of the real harsh scepticism. Whenever pprune is mentioned to a training provider, the most common response I have heard is "oh yes, pprune, eerrgghh...."
Lets try and keep the standard high, i.e. good humoured, honest page and try change this image and make WWW and Scroggs proud of this section.

PS: Yes, I will probably get a slapping for this too. But heck I'll just laugh! I'm going to switch on email notification, which in turn messages my phone so if it keeps beeping I'll be pleased.
PPS: Hope the search returns soon...
