Well, Stoub, 'ol boy - thanks for dissing everyone here on the .ORG by running off with your piece. Frankly, I don't see the attraction - the mag has so little to do with us that I just wish it would go through it's final death-spasms and expire, like other print media. As it is, the thing reads like a PG-gear catalogue.

I hope you and the mag are very happy together...

No disrespect intended towards anyone on this site by pulling the post. Let me explain.

I was sent a PM from someone in my local area who thought it would make a great feature bit in a local magazine. They convinced me that it could help generate more interest in the sport. They thought that what I wrote, if mixed with some good pictures, and some serious corrections to my punctuation, may spark someone's interest. I know nothing about publishing or the rules, but I guess they won't take stuff if it has already been on the internet.

I am sincerly humbled by the comments left here on this site. I honestly thought it would just slip away into the forum back pages. I have no intention of sending it to a paragliding magazine.

Thank you again for the kind comments, I would not have even attempted to put my writing out here if I didn't feel the sense of community I do feel on this amazing forum.
