Well I thought this was the space for BOF's once I saw gomog on here posting George.
My late Father was a brilliant pilot his Log Books tell me, but at everything else he made a complete mess of his life - so once again we have opposing views as the only thing I ever listened and learnt from him was flying.
Sorry Richard, the mention of gomog flew over my head, ( no pun intended) though happy to type that Lorne and I are of a similar age, and that I counted myself fortunate to have enjoyed his friendship and company in times past..
My mention of the father and son was no more than a generalisation and in no way related to my own father who was a far better man than I could ever be...
Opposing views are not an issue for me, they hopefully add to my wider education, though I well understand that those who might expect others to believe in that which they themselves believe in, and to the same degree as they do, may by their nature may make their point a tad more forcefully, perhaps dependant on their frame of mind while typing.... Shrug.
BTW, I learned the "shrug" from conversing with Lorne on the MSCC DG in the mid 90`s, seems he was well ahead of the game before it became obvious that it was all to simple for poor punctuation skills to entirely alter the perceived intended meaning of words initially typed, long before it seems the much needed smiley faces and their likes exploded onto the scene...(-:
In serch of a measure of synergy, at least you, Lorne and I favour the same old Rover V8 powering our Morgans... (-:
As always, each to their own works well enough for me....
