Matt has done an outstanding job here, and if it does not meet your hypertech requirements, just go away. But as a one time famous cartoon rabbit named Bugs Bunny once said,....

Bigelow Michael: I have kept quiet about this crap since it started. Guess I have grown weary waiting for it to go away. About time you took a break. Some of us old farts like the way things are. We liked it this way long before you came along, and we still like it the way it is. I have a choice between the "old antiquated way" and the new BBS way. Personally, I prefer the old way, although I do use both systems. Try to understand and accept "others", the way we are. We certainly are not going to change because of your rants. I have tried to understand you, but I'm not doing a very good job. I certainly appologize for that. Recommend you make direct contact with Matt Dralle to air your dislikes of his system. BTW: For the most part, this Kolb List is not free. Most of us donate a little every year, about December, to keep it on line. It does not operate for free. Some members are either free loaders or do not have the cash to donate. If I am broke when donation time comes around, I won't donate either, but I will still be able to use these systems. For that matter, recommend complaints about the mechanics and operation of the Kolb List "all" go bc to Matt. Let's try and keep the subject line about Kolbs; building, flying, etc. When you finish having yours built, then come back and tell us all about it. Time to get ready to fly to OSH. I will be leaving Gantt IAP next Saturday. Should arrive OSH Sunday. Looks like I will be camping in the UL area. Take care, john h mkIII

    Subject: Re: most anti-aviation city in the nation
    In the same vein, a township in our county recently passed an ordinance banning any airstrips or personal airport activity from private property. This is an area that is at least half rural. Similarly, it seems to have been prompted by a neighbor with an axe to grind against someone occasionally landing his standard category helicopter in his back yard. Sounds like jealousy to me. There are four grass strips in my immediate neighborhood. In thirty years we have never heard a peep of complaint. Houses keep springing up though and I guess we shouldn't be surprised if a legal action happens. I do my best to avoid antagonism, passing over houses, etc. so far, so good. -BB do not archive On 16, Jul 2006, at 1:06 PM, Kolbdriver wrote: > > Folks, > - > Anyone seen this?- City of Jacksonville, not sure if it=92s Florida, > Texas, or ??? > - > http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.homebuilt/browse_thread/ > thread/688f409b9c514e53/25ddcbef1957bb52#25ddcbef1957bb52 > - > Mike > KCMO > Mark III 1.3L Geo > - > -

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: <kfackler@ameritech.net> Gentlefolk: I have installed a new feature on the First Airplane website. Your name can now optionally be a link to a personal web page. If you previously submitted your flight info and would like to take advantage of this, please email me the desired URL directly, and NOT via the list, at: kfackler@ameritech.net If you prefer not to use this, you don't need to do anything. It isn't necessary to send me a "regrets" message. I strongly IMPLORE you to follow these guidelines about the URL: 1. It should be a site about you and ALSO have some immediate and obvious connection to your flying or building experiences. It should NOT be a site promoting a political agenda, a commercial site, one show casing your grandchildren, or anything similar. I am reserving the right NOT to add any URL which in my personal and sole opinion is not in the spirit of this thing. 2. It should be a site that you plan to keep active for a reasonable length of time. I would prefer not to have our First Airplane site with pointers to a bunch of broken links. -Ken Fackler Kolb Mark II / A722KWF Rochester MI

The reason his messages get fragmented so often is that there is a something about the email program that he uses that inserts non-standard characters into the email message and Subject line. When various people respond to his messages, different things happen. Sometimes, for example, with Eudora, the text in his subject is completely dropped as in my original reply to his message. In other cases (member's email applications), only the portion up to the bogus characters are kept. In still other cases the whole thing is kept. Fairly ironic that the vary thing Michael Bigelow complains about is caused by his antiquated and outdated email program. Hum... And his remark about the "do n-ot archive" is completely without justification. No other system in the world has that functionality that I'm aware of. Its something I built for the convenience of members to use if that saw fit. And I'm not sure what the "hundreds of other forums on the net" that are supposedly so superior to the offerings at Matronics are. Many are built on the vary same BBS Forum engine used at Matronics. Again, if you like getting your messages on the Web great, Matronics has a solution for that that works well. If you like receiving your List content via email, however, Matronics can't be beat (search engine, list browse, real time distribution, etc.) Michael, please refrain from further rabble-rousing on this forum. You are not adding anything to the content here with these lines of discussion and we've already wasted plenty of bandwidth with this topic. Most of us here like the system we have and consider it very effective. Nobody is forcing you stay or contribute - and in many cases most people here wish you would go away (overwhelming consensus via private email to me). And here's another thought for you, Michael. Someone invites you over to their home for dinner and conversation. Last time I checked, I don't believe its considered proper form (forum) to talk about how crappy their food, furnishings, and house are. You are a very rude individual.

    Subject: Oshkosh
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard & Martha Neilsen" <NeilsenRM@comcast.net> John/all Who all is going to Oshkosh this year? I got a E-mail from Scott Trask wondering if I was going and swinging bye his place on the way. I hope every one has a great and safe time this year. I'm going to miss Oshkosh this year. My son is getting married on Saturday and family obligations will keep me tied up the rest of the week. Last year one of our group got separated and lost trying to find the Ultralight strip. He found an emergency strip near the EAA camp ground and landed. The local EAA Gestapo descended on the poor guy with the intent of major harassment. Finally clearer heads prevailed and he was allow to take off with directions and landed at the Ultralight strip. Afterwards I had a conversation and later via E-Mail with the head guy for the Ultralight area and tried to convince him that they should publish GPS coordinates for the Ultralight strip but didn't get anywhere. They want eyes out side the cockpit even if they are lost. Remember two years ago a pair of lost trikes did the unforgivable and landed at the Pioneer airstrip. Also I was able to get the fuel trucks to cross over to the Ultralight camping area and fuel us up with 100LL. Sure was easer than lugging fuel cans for a mile. (well seem like it at the time). The fuel guys were able to sell enough fuel that they said they would be happy to return. Thirteen+ years of enjoying this list just the way it is.

    Matt / Mike B, Matt, THANK YOU! Your forum is the best damn thing on the Internet, bar none. I still use the email version, but do visit the other BBS forum often. How the heck can anyone complain is far beyond my imagination! And I thought I was anal! Mike B.... chill brother... and I dont mean that to be aggressive or to antagonize you in any way. I would welcome you here at my place any day to share a cold beer and a few stories of flying. Are you up for such an invitation? Dont take this list, or life even, so seriously. This list is a simple vehicle for sharing ideas and experiences. Nothing written is meant to be posted for such astute critique as you seem to offer, if you dont agree with something thats written, thats fine, offer your opinion, but flames or major derogatory blasts against anyones opinion, are really not necessary. Thanks for reading my rant, and by the way, I still have a cold beer for you (or any list member that is willing to travel), GPS coordinates are N 3529.59, W 8602.44 anytime youre in the neighborhood, so let me know when you might be in town, and I will warm up the grill too!

The reason his messages get fragmented so often is that there is a something about the email program that he uses that inserts non-standard characters into the email message and Subject line. When various people respond to his messages, different things happen. Sometimes, for example, with Eudora, the text in his subject is completely dropped as in my original reply to his message. In other cases (member's email applications), only the portion up to the bogus characters are kept. In still other cases the whole thing is kept. Fairly ironic that the vary thing Michael Bigelow complains about is caused by his antiquated and outdated email program. Hum... And his remark about the "do n-ot archive" is completely without justification. No other system in the world has that functionality that I'm aware of. Its something I built for the convenience of members to use if that saw fit. And I'm not sure what the "hundreds of other forums on the net" that are supposedly so superior to the offerings at Matronics are. Many are built on the vary same BBS Forum engine used at Matronics. Again, if you like getting your messages on the Web great, Matronics has a solution for that that works well. If you like receiving your List content via email, however, Matronics can't be beat (search engine, list browse, real time distribution, etc.) Michael, please refrain from further rabble-rousing on this forum. You are not adding anything to the content here with these lines of discussion and we've already wasted plenty of bandwidth with this topic. Most of us here like the system we have and consider it very effective. Nobody is forcing you stay or contribute - and in many cases most people here wish you would go away (overwhelming consensus via private email to me). And here's another thought for you, Michael. Someone invites you over to their home for dinner and conversation. Last time I checked, I don't believe its considered proper form (forum) to talk about how crappy their food, furnishings, and house are. You are a very rude individual.

    JetPilot; In one of your most recent posts, you stated, "There are hundreds free of forums on the net, and none of them have these issues." I, for one, would gladly enjoy your presence at anyone of those OTHER lists/forums, rather than regret your continued use, and attempted flaming of this one, that the majority of us DO ENJOY. George Bass

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Denny Rowe" <rowedl@highstream.net> John, I would encourage you to make the effort to vist Mikes place on your trip to AirVenture. Having met Mike last Summer I can say that he is one of the nicest Gentleman I have had the honor to meet. Also, you would do him a great service to give him a ride or two in Miss P-fer to acclimate him to his new bird. On top of that his place looks fantasic on his Frappper sight.

Mike, "Thunderbird" is a good email program that can be downloaded free. Try it, it should solve the broken thread problem you are having. Just google "Thunderbird" for the free download.
