I beg to differ, most of the discussion didn't relate to "Oh what Reggie was it spotting" "Ooo my first 748 this month"
I understand your point captplaystation but, from what I began to understand after several years on PPRuNe, that's not entirely how the moderators view Spotters Corner. There are plenty of people in and out of aviation who are plane spotters without having anything to do with collecting reggies etc. Indeed, over here on the continent a plane spotter is not regarded as a reggie collector (very few partake in that activity over here) or an anorak. It simply translates as one who is interested in aviation or aircraft in or outside their profession. Many pilots are such plane spotters.
Me kiss @ss, now you ARE joking!
