Machooski, you owe me a new laptop. Laughed so hard at that one I extruded a full cup of coffee through my nose and shorted out the screen. Thanks..............
I don't agree with the idea of flags to identify licences. What? A red flag for ATPL, green for cpl, blue for pp, or something like that? Anyhow, I've known some cpl holders who have spent decades in the bush/north/on the water, couldn't fly an instrument approach for anything, but have incredible talent and experience in their own areas of expertise. And, who says the pp doesn't have lots to offer other pp or spp folks?
As mentioned earlier, read this forum for a bit and you can figure out who has good knowledge to impart and who only comments for the need to be noticed. It doesn't take long.

Over the years I have been one of the least active mods on here. Until recently I would let things go that would have easily had me booted from my professional board. When I do moderate I inevitably get a poison PM calling me names and worse. The rules are some of the most lax that I have seen on a board and yet there are those of you who believe that it is okay to break them and regularly. On the flip side, I get PM's and reports regularly stating that this rule or that rule has been violated so I moderate then the expected PM's start again and I am left defending the simple rules of this board. So I will say again what I have said often, you want less moderation, it's easy, obey the rules. What is so hard to understand?
We cannot be expected to read every post that comes in of the thousands we get. If one gets reported we look, sometimes it is removed and the person gets a warning, if it is a serious breach, maybe a break. Sometimes a topic is reported and we move it to the mods area for review, remove offending posts or simply remove the topic completely which may result in a couple of warnings, time outs or banning.
In a perfect world you would not need moderators but it has been shown way too many times that this site is not perfect. In a perfect world we would all act like adults.
