Thank you, Hairyplane. I am happy to reveal my hidden agenda [rips off rubber Philip Whiteman mask to reveal... Philip Whiteman]:
All I want to do is make General Aviation so fine a magazine that people can cheerfully stump up for AOPA membership and forgo the usual news-stand monthlies. Thanks to Dave Calderwood and his publishers, I have been able to count on a wonderful wave of support from some of the best of 'Pilot's past contributors.
Otherwise, if People are paranoid enough to imagine that I am somehow orchestrating an anti campaign, well fine: the only contributor to this thread so far known to me is my great friend 'Aerohack'.
