All,
Please desist from further discussions about intelligence, intent, goodwill, etc. Though I'd like to say things in defense of some people involved in this discussion, a rule of calming things down is, once and end (pizza) is called, we stop making defenses or explanations. That lets things calm down. If you want, go back and re-read previous comments. I've seen some responses that don't correctly address the message on which they are commenting. But, let's drop talking about personalities and who said what. This is not a restriction on talking about Kim's problem and any help people might like to give. LURKERS - you are ESPECIALLY welcome here. This is a MUTUAL AID SOCIETY, here to share information and help each other. My observation is that, eventually, 80% or more of the people will find something to contribute that is very useful to someone else. But, even if you lurk forever and never come up with a gem of wisdom that hasn't already been provided by someone else, that's OK, too. A bunch of us get satisfaction from helping you keep the Coupe fleet flying and as safe as possible. In the mean time, those who want and can afford it, please feel free to help Kim. He's been a pretty great guy in all my contacts with him and he's an inspiration to me and the whole wide world. I hope he can keep flying to help inspire others to fly. Fly, Kim, Fly! Ed (Draconian forum manager) P.S. for new members: Pizza is a call for an end of the discussion, normally called because hostility is coming out and flames are fanning. The discussion has slipped off the subject into personalities. It's a pizza call because, when we call out for pizza and take time to have dinner, by the time we come back, everyone has calmed down and we can just work on the original problem without animosity.
