[AT] Question for Spencer- ATIS Forum?

[Dave Merchant]

Others have covered the same reasons I have.

1.      Forums take way too much time to read.

2.      They are impersonal.

I can flip thru a day's ATIS (3 lists) emails in a couple minutes, about 
all the time I have available.

I am on ATIS, Farmall + Ford/Fergie, occasionally think of getting on 
Stationary
(especially since our first trip to Coolspring last fall).

I would definitely bail out on a forum.
Of course some here might think that's a good reason to convert over...!
