Hi Piccavalo, By all means that is not what I meant to imply. If you do find something not right, have ideas for improvements, etc. etc., you are mostly welcome to voice these. Especially, the user list is intended both for communication between FlightGear users among each other on the one hand, and between users and developers on the other hand. In general, if you voice your opinion in a constructive manner, we/I will certainly listen, and we'll actually consider that a contribution to the project. However, being a group of volunteers, we can't guarantee that your idea will be implemented, so this the part where actively contributing will definitely raise the number of listening ears and appreciation for your work. :-) My comment was specifically aimed at one frequent poster on this list, Arnt Karlsen, who's postings, in my opinion, don't meet the criterion of being constructive. As a poster, he is active on both FlightGear-Users and FlightGear devel, for at least five years now, and in my opinion the majority of his postings are either irrelevant, off-topic, or incomprehensible. On top of that, sometimes they're just offensively loaded with politically incorrect sentiment. In a case like this, I don't see a reason anymore to listen to this person's opinion, unless he can substantiate what he's writing by actually providing something that is useful. Hope this clarifies things a bit. Cheers, Durk ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
