Fresh, good ideas, along with constructive criticism are read and often acted on. However, misinformation from the “experts” and incorrect information are posted it leads to less interest in this forum. Some of the threads are so far off base that they can only be read for humor.

As an example of the latter, a unfounded charge was made that the employees at Model Aviation Magazine published a 13th issue a couple of years ago. Had it been true, the employees should have been rewarded since they were able to mail it at no charge to the AMA. Looking at postage charges for the prior year, the year in question, and the following year along with the number of AMA members each year showed that all the postage charges were in line for 12 mailings. No one noticed or called the “expert” on his faulty count. Made for a lot of chuckles on the EC.
