If you are not a warbird fan, if you believe our effort is a waste of time and money, if you think we're "glorifying" war, if you think operating antique warplanes is dangerous and should be outlawed, etc, etc... you're entitled to your opinion, but I respectfully ask that you keep it to yourself. Up to this point I agree with everything you have to say. But I'll say what I please about your efforts, and defend to the death the right of others to say it, as well. You don't have to like it, and you don't have to read it, either, but everyone else is as entitled to state his, her, or its opinions on old warbirds as you are. That said, I hope you're successful in your quest. For crying out loud Mike, was that TRULY necessary? I think it was. Usenet is in many ways the equivalent of Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London. omeone trying to foreclose comment on his project, after he posts about it on Usenet, is in the position of telling the folks around him at Speakers' Corner that they can listen or not, aas they please, but they aren't to comment. I've been doing this Usenet stuff, for work (mostly) and play since 1983 or so, well before hoi polloi had access to the big-I Internet, and I want to keep its open flavor intact. You have the right to have a different opinion, and (unlike k5dh), I won't ask you to keep it to yourself. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO Tired old sysadmin |
