This tread was in the cargo section.. It's a good read and some great follow-ons.. I'm guilty as charged... Makes me want to go back and delete some old responses..

It's a small, small world
I introduced myself to someone today, thinking that we had never met. Turns out, we had conversed at length many years ago in AOL's Pilot Lounge. I was thrilled to see that goals had been met, and success had followed hard work and determined effort.


What struck me from the meeting is that there are a lot of people watching these boards, reading, studying, learning, that never let their presence be known by contributing posts. There are eyes and ears that are taking everything in, and taking note of what we say and do. Their silence doesn't mean they don't count.


If you plan to go far in this industry, it's a good idea to consider that what you say and do on a public internet forum matters. You can use this media to progress your career, or you can use it to end your career.
