Ouch! Two posts and no replies. That hurts the ego for someone who is new to forums.

Last time at the plate and I i'll put myself out. Too bad, John Matcho (I think mostly) has worked to create a very nice place with relevant categories for not only builders, flyers and newcomers but for anyone who wants to share/learn about our planes. 

A little story...

Generous Wiseman Kent Ashton posted onced that he was pleantly surprized that particular day (maybe sarcastic) that someone was actually following his latest story. One guy replied something like "there are a few of us [that are] silent reader out there" Well.... that's not going to make Kent's day won't it!  For the love of (put your favored saint here), speak up! "Nice story Kent". "Intersting...how about...". If your in the coffe house looking and listening to everyone but never interacting, isn't that called voyeerizim? To you "silent reader", The fact that 145 people saw my last post is no reconfort to me. It really is a confirmation of how boring my post was, yurk!, ego punch again. 

If you read my tone as upset, stand corrected, I'm not.  Only a mild disappointment of the type of persons we have become acting in this weird Facebook world.  I'll get over it after lunch.  End of the editorial, on with the story.

Somewhere deep within the confines of this forum there is a post by Dave Berenholtz, mister never-give-up-positive attitude himself asking a simple no-nonsense question. The idea carried out was coherent, concise and yes Kent, there was a question mark in there!

Well..... No answer, no replies. How amazing and troubling.

Find Dave's comment after "0" replies.

Good luck.

P.S. For my one and only follower, You will not recognize the different style of my posts on the Coba site. A Little bit like this one but hopefully more refined. I'm still ancengineer unfortunatly.

Note that I don't really like the Coba forum portion, this huge coffee house of a forum where among other irritants Klaus Savier (I like to read him and admire him alot) hijacks pretty much the majority of my posts) , Does not allow a proper segregation ofvinterests like incthis one.

To you "Follower", If you dare let yourself known to me, send me a mail and I'll something special for you. Also don't worry there is only one Allan Clouston french introvert cartesian kid building a Varieze on this earth and fortunately or unfortunately,  I'm still an engineerNo avatars here, same guy.

E-mail me personnally.

Sorry about the too long post and I haven't even eaten lunch yet.

See you all and more stories comments and build questions to come the on Coba.

There was a time when canard folks had CanardCommunity.com, CanardAviation.com, and EZ.org that were quite active, Rutan and Puffer publishing newsletters and lots of builder sites.  For various reasons, most of them went away.  This site says it has over 5200 members but I would guess that only four or five answer questions here and less than that post much about their projects.    Years ago, you'd have a dozen people answering your questions and lots of discussion of individual projects.  I haven't kept-up my COBA subscription.

IMO, the value of this site now is the archive and search functions and Marc's participation which you can't get on the Facebook canard sites.  FB is terrible for archiving information, answers to questions are curt and often ill-informed but they do invite zoom participation.  I am happy to answer questions if I have the information or know where to find it but I don't have much experience with Variezes.  Take this site for what it's worth.

Facebook is a weird beast. Lots of things happening on groups you need to seek out yourself, then plenty of nothing on your Feed.

It would be great to have one source to go to, but its also exciting to find Glasgow canard tid bits deep in the quick heads letters.

I wish I could contribute more but I'm often asking the questions myself
