First of all thanks for the very generous support from Karl Allmendinger and
Michael Tryon.

I used to always support The Oz Report with a donation. That was, until I met
you in person, and you were such a dick. I couldn't believe it. I was so polite,
and considerate of your time. I even checked with your wife first before
approaching you. I asked you, too, if it were OK to interrupt what you were
doing. You said yes, and then were a 100% certified ass to me.

So no. No more money for you.

I wrote back:

I am a dick and almost completely anti-social. I very much want to keep to
myself.

Glad you enjoy reading the Oz Report.

He responded:

Fair enough. I wish you're wife had warned me off. Or you had said, "No," when I
asked if you had a moment.

Forewarned is forearmed

But I do want to thank you for your civil reply, and not just unloading curses
on me as is the Internet norm.

I apologize for my earlier harsh words. I was very much looking forward to
meeting you, which was part of the reason behind my six hour round trip drive.

Be well.

I responded:

No worries. It’s amazing to me that I can pull off doing the Oz Report and
putting on multiple competitions and acting as a meet director given my
handicap.

He wrote back:

Just to close up here, I'm glad I finally wrote. It's been bugging me since I
met you. I like you better now I've had my say, and I'm impressed how you took
it.

Thanks for your time. I do realize you're very busy. I won't impose further.

Happy and safe flying.

Perhaps this explains why not everyone has subscribed/donated to the Oz Report.

So to continue...

This is the month where I ask Oz Report readers for their support.  Your
contribution pays for hosting our web site and for Gerry's technical support to
keep it running.

Here are our supporters:
http://ozreport.com/supporters.php

As you know, all we are asking for is a subscription payment of $20/year.

Seems simple enough. Like most content on the internet, you get to read the Oz
Report for free. The trouble for us, not you, is that there are not enough hang
glider pilots in this world to make advertising pay for our web hosting costs.

Please, help us out. Support something that you find useful so that it can
continue to be there for you.
