Nobody wants you to storm out of here, Don, least of all me. Just chill out and stay, you're a leader.

Why is that? Because of the way the people were treated. They did not want to participate anymore. I am tired of this happening over and over again. It is not necessary to make digs at the indoor community to make a point. We ALL know that indoor is getting smaller we all know more people need to fly, we all know indoor needs more exposure etc. We ALL know it. But rubbing our noses in it and calling those people elitists etc only pisses the people off that are needed to help solve the problem. I have had 15 years of listening to this approach from the same person and I am at my wits end.

So all that happens is people all shut up and don't post a word, no discussion happens and the can gets kicked down the road another year and another year and another year.
