- Marty,
- I would like to say that your idea is great, but unless you post this
- every 2 weeks people will still ask those questions. I personally don't find
- the questions that irritating-Like you said, kite flyers are friendly people-
- Hell, I don't mind answering them if I know what a good shop in XXX is-
- besides, for me, using the computer for info exchange is a lot cheaper
- (in fact it is free) than calling someone in XXX.
-
- I also recommend becomming an AKA member-
-
- Well, now that I said that:
- 1. I know a couple of great places in Kansas to fly
- 2. I know a great shop here in Kansas
- 3. I am heading off to Arkansas for T-giving- hope to meet some kiters there.
