What a bunch of easily frightened little sailors we have become lately.

I just wanted to input these C-class experiences into the class technical data archieve (and F16 sailor conciousness) so we can possibly retrieve it at a later time when possible required to evaluate a new development or F16 proposal.

The Technical committee should be keeping themselves aware of what is going on outside of the class and outside of the class rules. Only then can proper evaluations and advice be formulated when asked to do so. With blinders on such a committee can only rehash in class dogma's and that is not valuable. I venture to claim that similar things apply to the class members as well.

I get the impression that even the mere investigating of new developments and experiences on this forum is strongly disapproved lately. All under the mantra of not scaring any (new) class members.

I fear that I will strongly dissapprove of such a policy if indeed that is the new policy.

And what is up with ;"So, nothing to see, pass along please!"

What a great way to start a new rumour <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
