If so, can we make this the place to escape the conspiracy loons and Tarver?

Sounds good to me, we just need to get some more of the sane rec.aviation
types onto UsenetII.

As long as you don't start vociferously arguing that the 400°F bleed air that
they use to pressurize a Learjet has to be electrically heated, like a certain
Mr. Tarver is currently doing on rec.aviation.piloting.

As long as their ISPs provide U2, that's fine. Bring 'em on!

Tarver has a habit of things like this. He claims to be some big expert on
aviation safety, but the stuff he believes and argues vociferously for are
just plane nuts. One time he was claiming that most general aviation aircraft
were in violation of some regulation because they didn't have mode A
transponders - even though it was pointed out about a billion times that a
mode C transponder is a superset of mode A.
