And, fortunately, those of you who have been in the professional end of
the community also abstain from posting in this ng every accident that
you hear about. And for that many of us are grateful!<<

For goodness sakes, a plane crash is NEWS! Even if you don't like it.
Maybe just a blurb if its a minor crash and no one gets killed, maybe a
longer story if people watch an idiot buzzing houses and then crashes into
one, setting it ablaze.

On the front page of today's New York Times, you will see an article
entitled "No End to Questions on Cheney Hunting Incident." See?

Unfortunately, the amateurs likely will keep posting accidents and the
amateur commentators will keep speculating...
