Kite Strings

Fair question. The easy answer is everyone ... even USHPA. A monopoly breaks the underlying assumption of choice in a free market system. The U.S. economy is largely left to sort itself out based on consumers choosing. Consumer choice is a very efficient and highly diversified regulation mechanism. ...

it would be most helpful if you restored an avatar for your profile. Looks like you just deleted the corrupted whatever-it-was which was left in the wake of the transition/restoration. I didn't delete anything, and I'm just about done with this forum. So that missing avatar is appropriate. I've pre...

Looky here. We're not talking about "Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites" in the topic (oddly) titled "Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites". Nope. We're talking about Tad and towing and whatever Tad wants to talk about. Tad. Tad. Tad. Any topic on star...

What's the lesson from this topic? You can't discuss anything on Tad's "KiteStrings" unless it's: . . . (a) what Tad wants to talk about . . . (b) what Tad wants to talk about and most importantly ... . . . (c) what Tad wants to talk about Read this 13 page topic from start to finish if yo...

If you want me to participate in any of your pet topics then stop hijacking mine. You need a lesson on ...

Crash on highway one today. People waiting for the road to clear. Fireman walks by as we are waiting and everyone is asking him how long it will be before the road is opened. No one, other than me, bothers to ask about the status of the folks involved in the crash. What a totally depressing display...

This topic is intended as a dumping ground for off-topic posts by Tad and his minions that appear throughout this forum. :lol: Yea, that is pretty funny. This forum has about 10,000 posts with nearly 8,000 by Tad. Even without his minions, that would make this a pretty big topic. ;) I started this ...
