Your loss. ANN is now one of the most highly respected e-rags in aviation. If you choose to hold onto the old newsgroup way of thinking (and if you really, really remember what started the whole cock fight) you're cheating yourself.
Incidentally, keeping in mind your aspirations to become an aviation news editor, you should note that ANN has a mostly paid staff. Maybe it would be wise to visit the site and see what a nut job can do in a few years with a thick skin and perseverance. Looks like he's making a very good living to me.

While I read Aero-News Network, I keep in mind the owner Zoom Campbell's reputation. Most of the writers and editors at ANN seem to be normal and trustworthy. This particular article had Zoom's stamp on it, especially in the last paragraphs which sure looked like a Zoom outpouring. I figured there was a good chance Zoom was right on the facts, but in this case I, personally, felt the need to wait for verification. It looks like Zoom did a good public service this time. Compliments to him. JMHO Ed Ed Burkhead http://edburkhead.com/Ercoupe/index.htm East Peoria, Illinois ed -at- edburk???head.??com (remove the ? marks and change -at- to @)
