It's been sidelined for consideration. As much for the poster's benefit as anything else. Not sure how deep his/her pockets are.

Must admit, without qualification it was a bit near the knuckle, good to see you vigilant as ever Duck.

Whatever was on the "side line posting" doesn't mean much really. Surely EBJ have nothing to hide but then it is strange that they weren't mentioned sooner.

Just a question, and no malice intended, but can EBJ afford lawyers anyway

From time to time is does us all good to refresh our memories as to what we can and cannot write in places such as this. I'm all for free speech but the internet does not give us carte blanche. In theory any of us can be called upon to back up our statements (allegations?) if those who feel sleighted (correctly spelled, feel free to Google) have deep enough pockets and good enough lawyers.

In this instance I removed the post to give the poster time to reflect. Believe it or not I try to keep people out of trouble where I think things have been written in the heat of the moment or late at night after Baccus has visited. If they are sure that's what they wanted to write and can back it up when the MiB come knocking that's fine by me providing it does not drag PPRuNe into the resulting melee.

Lecture over. Here's your ball back. Play on.

...and unfortunately there are many side-effects of that sort of, ahem, moderation.

One of which is the credence it lends to everything left standing on the site...

....and it also gives people the chance to avoid embarrasing mistakes, as seems to be have been the case here.

My 'moderation' was confined to withdrawing the post and asking the poster if they wished it to be reinstated. Show me another site where that happens.

Baccus? Who he?

From Wikipedia:

Dionysus or Dionysos (in Greek, Διόνυσος or Διώνυσος; associated with Roman Liber), is the god of wine... He was also known as Bacchus

Sorry... you did ask us to check odd spellings!

Duck, fair points made me thinks. The point of this thread has changed a bit, but while we have your attention I have a question. Why do you not delete posts that only complain about spelling and grammar? They are a waste of space and a waste of people's reading time, and they often start pointless arguments. Many of the posts are by people for whom English is a second language. And some by guys like me who are only good at burning big holes in the sky.

Thanks in advance for your reply Duck. Oh, and I will not enter into any arguments about my post after the spelling police have picked through my post

Nowt wrong with your post. Spelling and everything was fine.

I leave the posts from the grammar and spelling police because I'm a power crazy pedant

Anyway, half of you lot wouldn't come in here if there were no chance of a fight.

Maybe someone from EBJ can shed some light on this "hushed up" event....

It's being hushed up? How? Oooh, I do love a good conspiracy.

On the other hand I heard that the faulty part (valve) is a known problem acknowledged by Cessna but which they haven't publicised. If that's the case I don't see how the operators can be blamed.
