I think that is the point Lynn.  Here, you may be wrong (and you'll here 
about it if you are) but at least you're heard.  I don't seem to be 
hearing that Paul is technically inept (except that he has never flown 
anything he's built), but that they think his interpersonal skill are 
somewhat deficient.

I don't have a dog in this fight.  I was lucky enough to find this list 
first.  But I've been involved in list and newsgroups where a person or 
persons attempted to quell discussion or block the introduction of 
ideas, because they know better than us poor unwashed souls.  Instead of 
providing an education, or even stating their case, they would prefer 
that we bow down and plead for the crumbs of knowleged that they decide 
we deserve.  That is a derisive attitude, and it sticks in the craw of 
those on the recieving end.  I bow down to God and the laws of 
physics...not some egotistical snot that claims to have a personal line 
to the inside workings of either.  A preacher or discussion list 
moderator that doesn't allow open discussion of meritorious topics is 
trying to hide something...usually their own deficiencies.
