Thanks for DJ for thoroughly answering that already for me, but if you are proposing to write up a description of the issue, I did that about 25 years ago, and it's posted at http://www.krnet.org/info.html. That link is some of the junk that appears multiple times in emails where nobody deletes the previous posts..it's at the bottom of every post!
---------------------- For this specific bunch of posts: anyone on the list knows this is one of Mark L's hot buttons (understandably so), but EVERYONE forgot the original issue. The original poster seeking Poll responses (Paul V) specifically said to respond to him OFF NET. Many ignored or don't know how to do that even though Paul clearly put his contact info in the body of his e-mail along with the instructions to put responses in the subject line. Everyone on the list is either a pilot or a 'wanna be' pilot, so should be accustomed to following instructions - if the controller tells you that you are cleared for a straight in on rwy 21, you do that, not decide it is inconvenient and land on 3 (we all know what happens there). So how about we all agree to read and respond appropriately to communications on the net. BTW, for the folks that need a reminder, if you don't pick up the sender's e-mail in the body of the request, you can always "reply to all", delete KRnet at list.krnet.org from the to line and it will leave the e-mail address of the original sender. Try it. JMHO. Mark W N952MW (res) --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
