Now, Boris, I hope you know that I enjoy your posts, and I appreciate the knowledge you share here, and maybe one day we can put the hurt on a bottle of Crown together... so please don't take this message personally, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make this distinction.
Oh, no offense taken, don't worry. One of the side-effects of the "light fuse and stand back" theory of internet interaction is you develop a pretty thick skin or Darwin selects you out. In all earnestness, though, it's all a question of degree. I don't really use "those other places" at all because there is basically NO signal to ALL noise. I like JC because it has real people standing behind the posts...I might irritate some of them and they might well irritate me, but I suspect that we could all sit down and put a hurting on a bottle without fighting too much (except maybe over who gets the next bottle). I do maintain that it's weird to treat a web board like you're standing next to the person...because you aren't. But in the end I vastly prefer this to any other aviation web forum, and I'll gladly take "overzealously civilized" to "run for your life, every man for himself" every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Appreciate the distinction, please understand it is returned.
Dale, I'll buy the crown, just let me know, I want to see it!
And boris, luv ya bro
Aw hugs n kisses to you too. You'll love me less when I drink all the booze and steal your girlfriend.

PS. Crown? Swill. Make mine a bourbon, please!
