Steve,
That wasn't directed at anyone specific, I simply sensed some possible hesitation on the part of the membership.
I read somewhere once that in these forums some 80 to 90 % of intended communication is lost to the reader due to lack of voice inflection, and or body language. This is why I attempt to vary the
type and spacing in my posts to
signify a change in subject and or
inflection. Comma placement
, still gives me trouble all these years after school!
Hesitancy and safety.
It's reasonable to assume that this is a sensitive subject matter (safety), for pilots. Some prefer to write it off as too rare to be overly concerned with such matters.
As a result, some may be hesitant to post relevant personal experiences for fear of having their butt handed to them in flames! (
Insert laugh here).
One thing that I believe to have contributed to this forum, is showing by example a lack of the above fear, and how that can hopefully translate to relevant and productive discussions.
Until I can start building, I have no better use for my time.
