I'll also add, that there are prolly 30 or so habitual posters here. The vast majority are of one train of thought. There are prolly greater than 1000 lurkers that are open to legitimate pro/con debates as opposed to watching a gang rape. After watching decades of votes go down at DALPA, I realize that the vocal minority usually doesn't represent the vast majority(CC and DPA come to mind) Even 2015 TA 1 had about 37 % vote for it( I voted against it, not that it matters....just precluding the pages of misinformation trying to besmirch me)
So, essentially, I'm not "speaking" to you......I am attempting to communicate to the other 9970 + other pilots that read the forum
