I am sorry David...

I think I have said it well enough that is not the case...

The forum being changed from open viewing to closed is the ONLY thing I disagree with.

Far as I can recall, the BBP website is advertiser-free. Does DK think that Doug has ads on this site as a charitable endeavor?


Hey howodd, Nomad membership is FREE... Viewing of the forum is FREE and can be done by non-members... all possible because expenses are covered by the banner and google ads.

it is because they prefer to charge for the priviledge- it is a membership thing after all that supports what they do.
DK cannot get that perspective.
if it was free even many pilots would just read it and never join.

DK - just join and be happy that you can yak there too.

i'm done.

enuff of the choir has responded in the afirm.

i'll lay off the "big" words..... lexiconagraphy happens to be a hobby - what can i say? because of Mrs. Smies in 7th grade English....
hahahaha.

nice in havasu today.

Secret Handshake ?


Back when I was flying Low as a Bush Pilot in TJ, there was often a "handshake" of sorts performed for safety purposes before climbing into the c-ckpit.

Is That what you mean ?

Mike, seems like Mrs. Smies was just foolin' with some of you students. The word you think describes your penchant is lexicography, not lexiconagraphy. While you're studyin' on that go back to "pedant" and see if you think you used that appropriately.
