- Regarding the rec.aviation anecdote which wound up in IFR Magazine:
-
- I can sure see both sides to this issue, but I think I'd have a hard
- time criticizing IFR too harshly. Any posting on the Internet is, to
- me, the equivalent of spray painting on a billboard and signing your
- name. The content of the message becomes public domain as soon as it
- leaves your fingers.
-
- From the wording of the posting, perhaps the issue is not so much
- whether the "lift" was ethical as whether the editor went back on an
- earlier commitment. That's another matter.
-
- Happy Holidays to all you aviators out there. Happy Winter Solstice
- if you happen to be a Druid.
-
- P.S. Doing my second solo cross country - to Oshkosh - on Dec. 26.
- Anything I might want to see?
