I salute thee once again. NOW BACK TO THE TOPIC: There are people here on our forum, when initially i asked them for their contact numbers ( An initiative taken by 380 in print), people replied to me through pms that they were their official numbers, and they would prefer to use the email and or the pm option. And the irony is that the same people fuss about identities, what a scarlett attitude _________________ I love the smell of Jet Fuel in the morning.

Remember it takes time to know people. But if you recollect I also told you on your later query on how we could meet up on a Thursday,I said send a pm if you need my personal no & I'll give it,but the pm never came. Remember I still stick to. that Official numbers are official numbers & there are certain SOPs on that. On the topic I'm referring to as Why some people know things and cannot post details has no connection with not giving ones contact.You are mixing the two issues. I don't hide my Identity,but def restrict myself in the Information I post.I know the reason why. I don't know who the other people that hurt you are,if they are others. cheers regds MEL _________________ Think of the Brighter side !!!

Pupil initially, and then just a few solos before I left. Earlier last month, I was a spectator. Overweight now, so unless I knock off at least 30 kilos, I am not going to be able to fly a glider anymore.
