I came across this and found it interesting. It's a six page article about forum members and behavior patterns. Thank goodness Simv forums are well moderated.

Thank you for your faith in us Steve.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Interesting article, Steve..........it sure explains some peoples behavior Roll Eyes

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Simviation is the only forum I've ever participated in. I don't really have time or interest to spend my life online elsewhere. Simviation is organized, friendly, well moderated, and I feel right at home here. We're all friends here, and there's no competition, just good banter between us.

So, three cheers for Simviation!

SimV is, although it also has its lesser gloryful times, a really nice place to be

The V can't avoid some "crisis" with some of the members here, but it's all about keeping that "crisis" time as small as possible, because there will always be some members disagreeing with forums politics.
Nevertheless, Pete and the Mod team are doing a great jobs in keeping law & order in store here at the forums Cool

Cheers Theis
