You completely missed the point sir. The text of the post and the signature have been edited. My comment is completely out of context now. Guess I should have quoted the post.
Any hoo...no "panties in an uproar" over the sig, just didn't appreciate criticism of people promoting their air shows in order to generate advance sales, as was written in the last paragraph of the original post. The previous sig, in context with what was said in the post, seemed ironic to me. I thought it a bit of a rant. That's all. No personal disrespect to the contributing member was intended. As a matter of fact, I thought my comment, unlike yours, showed some restraint.
People put a ton of effort and money into organizing air shows and the money generated by early sales helps in many ways. I agree that if you're a fair weather attendee or are only looking to see a specific aircraft you should wait until the last minute to purchase. However, I think there are many people who look forward to "saving a few bucks" and plan on going/supporting the air show regardless of the possibilities of weather or fate changing the lineup. I am an unabashed "cheerleader" of any group that has the means and desire to run an air show these days.
Mark Allen M, please accept my apology if any offence was taken.
Your lowly, humble, non-contributing member, Rick.
