I thought I was being funny. Sorry I left out the smiley.
The original joke goes something like this:
Bloke is in a hot air balloon drifting across
Canberra when suddenly he is enveloped in fog.
After a while he drifts near a building and
there's a bloke just inside an open window. The
balloon pilot asks "where am I?"
The bloke in the building replies " in a hot air
ballon basket". Balloon pilot replies " Your
answer is 100% correct and utterly useless but
now I know this is the CASA building.Thanks."

Personally, I don't have a problem with spinning or getting into
incipient spins where it's initiated by me, accidental or otherwise in
either my aircraft or one which I know.
I do not like at all the idea of spinning with anyone else in the
glider, or in a glider which I either don't know or don't trust.
This is not a comment about instructors per se but about individual
responsibility and human fallibility.
I can remember turning up as a visitor at a club and within a few
minutes, the instructor wants to see how I can spin the aircraft. I
don't know him, the aircraft or the site. Why take the risk? Why not
concentrate on not spinning?
When so many countries and aviation authorities have come to the same
conclusion, why do we in Australia have to be out of step?
