Kirby, are you trolling or still fishing?
I also feel very strongly on the subject of certain well known personalities of the past loading belts of incendiery in their guns. Frankly, I think that act was unforgivable.
I also feel very strongly on the topic of "Burling" Jarett, whom everyone has brain fade about. And wing spars that some boob has patched together with wood glue and pins. And "Actual" aerial photos of WW-I combat that are obviously heavily retouched. And Aero Historians who have not changed an opinion for 40-some years on the bravery of MvR, and fail to mention that his DR-1 was CUSTOM built for him by Fokker with special fabric, etc. Also that he sat on a parachute and was, personally, an off-beat personality. Misogamist, I believe you could say, to be kind about it. Would you rather see rousingly BORING threads about people long dead who are being fictionalized, or perhaps a rousing discussion on the various merits and demerits of ash tailskids vs those of oak? Don't rip your fabric, everything will be back to nothing but the stuff that gives Forumites orgasms, in short order.
I know, I know, this forum was designed for the discussion of... By the same token, this Country was designed to allow freedom of speech, public expression of thought and debate.
Do you remember your journalism class? "The kernel of the story?" First, write a sentence that defines a conflict. Where's the fault? America could very well be just 3 months away from disaster (Y2K) and all I hear is the sound of sad violin music. When MvR received his (cal.303) long overdue repayment, his last thought was, beyond doubt, "This can't be happening to me!" But it sure enough was.
To Kirby and his cohorts: Go back to sleep.
