So, Oz Report has a section for "Off Topic"
and a section for Hang Gliding.
Just moved to Off Topic was a key well-visited topic on an important hang gliding matter.
Go figure! :shock: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Yes. Hang gliding pilots being arrested for showing up at a hang gliding site to try to fly their hang glider surely doesn't belong in the "Hang Gliding" section of the Oz Forum!!

:roll:

Is there any remaining doubt that the sport of hang gliding needs a better outlet for news than through the "Davis Report", "Jack's Living Room", and the "USHPA Iron Curtain"?

Davis is the lap dog of USHPA. He only allows US Hawks stuff because he'd lose about 50% of his dwindling active members if he just banned it outright.

You had better foresight than me, Bill. I was happy that I could fly both wings under one association. If HG and PG had stayed as separate organizations, I'll bet I'd still be flying at least one of my wings at Torrey. Anyone want to guess which one?   :lol:

As a Board member of that next organization, I hope you'll make such a motion for the Board!!!   :thumbup:

This is becoming so applicable relative to Oz Report.
I gave some pearls.

Also: Davis permits libel where he chooses and deletes such where he chooses. A severe pending matter is underway ... hoping to avoid the courts by exercising simple private notices to Davis.

What has been coming to mind and heart:
New Era: Publish only in U.S. Hawks forum
Grow good text positively. Link to the positive good text herein.
May all posters in this forum aim for quality hang gliding posts. :idea:
