 Jeff,
 
 I think I understand where you're coming from but I also think that negative
responses, rather than constructive criticism, probably won't have the results
you desire.  When it comes to flying LML participants have widely varied
backgrounds and experience levels but still should consider each other as
peers.  Yes, this forum is a good place to "discuss these kind of bloopers".
 I don't think the chastising part has much, if any, positive effect.
 
 I know you're trying to help, but please consider the tone of your message
and how it might be received.  I know a couple of builder/pilots who have had
interesting experiences, have thought of posting them, but ultimately decided
against it because they simply didn't want to deal with the comments they were
certain would result.  I've probably been guilty of my share of not so
positive responses.  I will try to do better.
 
 Tom
