Ya know, I think we should also discuss adopting the FAI rules for scoring takeoff and landings in the AMA classes . . .

I agree with Lance on both points. Jim is a great guy who passionately supports pattern and would never come down hard on anyone. The similarities between NSRCA and public radio are obvious. This list is not free. There is no advertising and it is supported by the dues and volunteerism of the members.
In order to take the heat off of Jim, I 'm going to start a thread on the definition of a snap roll or mandatory class advancement.

I have to put in my small $.02 for anyone still following this thread.
Having only an impression of a person by email is limited and we all bear
this risk when we make statements. Jim Quinn, in person, is a super
friendly, gracious nice guy. He came to the Nats as an observer and became
the daily reporter and did a great job. His work as an officer is for all
our benefit. I'm sure he is apalled at the larger response that his
comments received and would reword them if he could. I haven't talked to
Jim about this but back when I was an officer he and I chatted often. I
know he is simply promoting membership and reminding people of the
similarities between this and public radio. Our organization needs to pay
its way so if you are getting value from the "list" or attending contests or
whatever, then for the price of a throttle servo you can do your part to
support the organization.
I agree the way he did it this one time was not ideal,but since most people
don't know Jim I thought someone had to make a plea to all to let this go.
He's too modest to become defensive himself.
