    Agreed...but I remember when it was not that way. I agree I can just not read it, which I said I might consider doing. But it still irks me because it was not always this way. We used to rag on wreck dot for the same things we are doing. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    That just makes it even more sad, an environment where we hijack threads to keep peace? People cannot even practice principles on a meeting space in cyberspace that they expect the world to follow at the meeting table. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    And further more WTF happened to no personal attacks? A joke maybe, but this looks like an attack thread to me. I thought that rule was an extended courtesy to people outside our exclusive "I fly and you don't" social group? Is that no longer the case? Because if so, I have some serious 'stupid f#&cker' comments to throw around. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Stupid people dont use Snopes http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=420572#420572 http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bushwave.htm I dont even care to state an opinion, talkback is becoming rec dot in my opinion. I left it, and think shortly I will do the same here. It has probably been days or weeks since I saw a combined dozen interesting posts that did not degenerate into stupidity, namecalling, and war/peace bitching. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Okay, look really close, you see what appears to be a soft reserve pillow on the bottom of his chest... yes...seriously. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    As for color, I like Kubota

    Actually I am not very stressed. Our lifestyle in this century will not mimick the last. This is just an adjustment. Most of the rest of the world continues their daily life in spite of this stuff already. But, BIG thanks and prayers to our people in uniform right now. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Thanks for the pics....that flyby was incredible. Out of curiousity what is being worn right in front of the harness on this pic http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=6722; -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Agreed Skydiving is cheap and has as much as Parachutist. I have also been VERY impressed with the online articles and tutorials in the British Skydive mag. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    So you fly back to the US to go to bed every night? If not, you live there. Maybe temporarily, but you live there. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Obviously, there are good articles on there http://www.arabnews.com/Article.asp?ID=23844 I was simply commenting that you live in a region where the feelings toward the US might be a little biased. Of course so do I

    This is not censorship, far from it. Do you guys read past the headlines? These stations were getting feedback at a rate of 75% disapproval for playing the songs. The listeners started it. What would you do if a radio station did not care what you had to say? You would not patronize them, just like the radio stations are doing with the band. This is a grassroots effect. I think it is hilarious. Personally, I could care less. But it amuses me that a performer who makes a lot of money off a typically conservative and patriotic crowd in the south makes a statement without thinking to ellicit some cheers. Then said performer realizes that the remark might cost money and she back peddles. And who was it that was standing by their beliefs again? Give me a break. The lead singer just proved foolish and hypocritical. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Bill, my statement in no way meant I prefered the validity of mine over his. Instead, I was glad to see the first hint of compromise for weeks in a very strained situation. Remember us conservatives also like peace. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Sometimes nice guys ride Harleys. I have one and Dave has plans for a mean mean custom chopper. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Thanks very much. Since it was bundled at the top of the lines near the tail, I would think all it did was slight wear on the lines. I don't remember if it was addressed in the manual...I actually think that they hand out the same Ram Air manual with everything, but I could be wrong. I just accepted it, since Sabres have a few packing quircks that don't get mentioned in the manual. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Sorry Dave, although when I saw the subject line, I was not quite sure how you meant it On the other hand, my woman rocks! She has always supported my jumping even when bored watching time after time, and she plans to start student training this Spring.

    My point was that I guess I have been doing it wrong for 150 jumps and not aware of it. Is it common to bundle? When I got the canopy it was that way, and at some point a rigger (not sure who, as it was 2 years ago) told me it was fine to keep it that way. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

    Hey...that was an honest mistake...someone should invent a spell checker. Now..if my Horney canopy would get here.....although that Sabre2 demo is quite fast.
