 Hear, hear, Marv.  Like any 'bull' session, some topics might not be of
 interest, but the tips and experience of others is invaluable.

 The guys at HPAT are a tremendous resource, one that we all should utilize
 to
 the best of our ability. Training is the ulitmate key to success and
 survival,
 but that is what they are all about... training... not physically creating
 the
 documents that you want them to review.  It is pure folly to think that they
 are omnipotent, and that there might not be something offered here that even
 one of them might find a useful addition to their critique of a student's
 POH
 or operational checklists.  They, too, are only human, and it's entirely
 likely that one of them may actually have made a mistake at some point in
 their aviation career.  It's also likely that someone like another human
 similar to those found on the LML might even have pointed it out to them and
 helped them to keep it from happening again.  That being said, please, by
 all
 means, get your knowledge from the sources you feel most comfortable with.
 Pay all you can afford for it.  Just don't belittle the incredible
 mindtrust
 we have here because you don't pay its members for their opinions.
