Dear Emilis,
I liked your letter of May 01..... [Aus-soaring} gentlemen please.
Many of these writers sound like Grumpy Old Men.........as on the ABC Television.
When I was in England some years ago and doing a good deal of gliding, the Sailplane and Gliding magazine often published sniping comments. This made me sad. I thought.........."Why don't these chronic grumblers meet and have a good old stouch in the Boxing Ring and get rid of their pent-up frustration, or better still have more regualar SEX with their wife of girl friend? Höflichkeit, ist eine Worte die viele alter Männer erscheinen mir zu vergesse! Wie traurig ist dass!
I hope that you are getting a good deal of gliding hours this year. Henry and I have had quite a few nice wave flights this year with me often towing Henry aloft in the Pik 20 B behind the 250 hp. Callair as early as 8.30 or even earlier to catch the standing wave before the thermals ruin the laminar air.
My Email address is....... [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd love to hear from you as it's been quite a few years since Henry and I saw you. at the farm property near Lake Fyans.
Mit freundlicher grüssung,
Ihr, Richard Leschen

I suspect that others on the list like myself would prefer cat fights to be taken off-list direct (as I do) This bar doesn't encourage underage drinkers or sledging, let's leave that to proper sports like cricket.
I am aware that the sport of gliding continues to tear itself apart in large continuous chunks, and that this list is only a relatively small reflection of that. However where I believe both the advocates of sainthood and evil are each heading is to the betterment of gliding as they happen to see it; but where the time has come to do so in separate streams.
There is the lobby for just having fun, which makes the using up and dumping of the husks of the core assets of the sport legitimate. These advocates probably do understand that the sport will last until they have finished with it. The other advocates assume the sport is aimed at the long term, and are looking for improved processes that secure that.
