REFLECTOR: New Member Intro

[Douglas Holub]

It sounds selfish and cliquish to want to exclude someone from the forum,
but if I had a vote (and I don't) I would vote no. (Don't take it
personally, John; I don't even know you.) I think the forum is better
without vendors. Would we like to have a Lycoming sales guy and a Dynon
sales guy as part of the group, too? It seems to me that their reason for
being a part of the group would be to promote their products and to reach
customers, not to help Velocity builders build better airplanes. I say it
would be better to hear from another builder the good experience he's had
with an MT prop than to hear it from the world's largest distributor.
