Grex Books Item 95: Musty old room
Entered by vol on Fri Sep 29 22:11:21 UTC 2000:

Cruising through GREX is like finding a tomb.  All the postings are 
years old and the posters must have graduated or flunked out and have 
gotten on with their lives.

Several years ago I ran across a homebuilt plane project.  Construction 
was started in the 1970's and is still underway.  I am desperately 
trying to turn it into a flying machine before it crumbles into dust.

It is called a Bakeng Duce and is a beautiful skeleton of a parasol 
winged creature out of aviation's golden age, the 1930's.  I am looking 
for a lurker lurkers who like stories of flying and tales of the clouds.

I live for air time and in a place of clear skys and far vistas of 
mountains and desert.

Hellooo out there.

Not all of the postings are old.    Some conferences are more active than
others, of course.

I've sometimes thought about flying, but never pursued it.

        Doesn't YAPP automatically hand you the first item (usually the oldest)
and then the last?

What's wrong with old postings? Aren't they new to you on first reading?

Seems to me your plane is older than the postings - hope it doesn't
fly like a tombstone.

Hmm, do you mean to suggest that because the words here are old that they're
pointless or perhaps even no longer relevant?  What would that mean for
books?  I think one of the wonderful things about the BBS here is that I
can come back, year after year, and find words both new and old.
I can browse back to yesteryear or I can see what's new.  BBS is like a
giant book, a story of the lives and ideas of everyone who has passed
this way.
Oh, and don't forget...
An item is dead only as long as no one keeps it alive.
