Thank you Oscar for your interesting comparison of GA with boating. I understand the point you tried to make, except that you might have misunderstood my view points. I didn't mean to say there is anything wrong at all for those who enjoy GA as hobby or entertainment. I was trying to find ways to make more of us to qualify as members in the #1group, therefore making GA to have more significant impact to human lives and to the well being of a greater society in general....
I hope my questions or curiosity didn't stir the pot too much...?!
