Mark,
There you are .. at it again ..
manufacturing arguments & misquotes.
You said " I know that you dearly want them to be equivalent, and that you
keep saying that if the ATSB can publish them there's no reason why the GFA
can't, but as long as you ignore that point you'll continue to stimulate
conflict."
I have NEVER said that "if the ATSB can publish them there's no reason why the GFA can't".
But I have certainly said that "If RAA & the HGFA
can publish them, then why can't the GFA"
I might add that the RAA membership
and participation rate is going gang busters ..... so a roughly equivalent
organization like the GFA might just consider taking a look at why that might be
so.
Go read the RAA Mag etc and look at
the great communication from their XO, President, Tech Manager etc etc etc. Each
publish about a 2 column page of communication with their members in each
Magazine .......... and just example Chris's offer in a recent
post.
Now what can you twist out of the
above? Can't wait to see what I didn't say this time.
Merry Christmas
Geoff

Peter said:

I don't know how else you could read
that.
There have been earlier instances too -- Like the coroners
inquest in
South Australia where the coroner attempted to proffer the view
that
winch launching should only be carried out with cables which don't
have
any joins in them, and that if the cable breaks it should be
completely
replaced before operations continue.
That's the thing
you're not quite getting here, Geoff: The difference
between an ATSB
report and a GFA report is that the ATSB report can be
presented in court
as prima-facie evidence of what happened. The GFA
report can't.
I know that you dearly want them to be equivalent, and that
you keep saying
that if the ATSB can publish them there's no reason why
the GFA can't, but
as long as you ignore that point you'll continue to
stimulate
conflict.

That's
not clarifying what I've said, that's answering a yes or no
question which
you've contrived.

Interesting --
I'd have thought that since we've been talking about this
off and on for
over a year on this list, you might have done that
already.
