Geeknix,

Thank you for your kind critique.

Personally, I found the GPT version more viscerally evocative. That's why I
included it.

I posted another story on Dec 28, 2006 about another "educational" gliding
event I experienced:

Best regards,

PS:
I see that you're maintaining BBS software.

In 1983 I had a friend, Sandy Zelkovitz, who wrote XBBS for Xenix**. In
those days, I ran RBBS (on a 486 box with two 720K floppies, 10MB HDD ($700)
two telephone lines with 2400 baud modems) named the Consultants Exchange*.
It was about the first BBS in Orange County, California.

I also ran a B-news USENET node back then. Those were the days ...
