I can almost see tears in your eyes due to frustration. I am truly sorry to have hurt your feelings. I was not aware that you are so sensitive. You and Elmer are somewhat alike. He saves every post ever written. I had forgotten much of what you wrote due to lack of importance. Secretly, I feel that Elmer is one person whom I've met in forums whom I would like to know socially. He and I have much in common and could hoist a few together. I abuse Elmer so much but I am sure that he knows that this is a game where we kid one another. It is just one old fart against another 'older' old fart. Elmer has good qualities that I ignore. But seriously, you should not take what we write to heart. No one is going to jail over what we put into a forum. This is a fun break for me away from writing editorials which may give me an income periodically. But, you should lean back and close your eyes and think of being broadsided by another plane. (I almost ran into a C-54 over Japan from the rear quarters of a T-33 while doing aerobatics) I don't know how I have lived so long on this giant billiard table called Earth. This was nearly 50 years ago and without your mentioning flying, I likely would have erased it from my memory. But in closing, I didn't know how sensitive you were and I apologize for hurting your feelings. Nothing we write should be taken too seriously. But if one cannot stand the heat, he should stay out of the kitchen.
