This is going to get interesting.  Maybe they can go borrow from China.

I LOVE this President. Health Care: Done; Ended a corrupt war in Iraq: Done; Killed Bin Ladin: Done; Saved Detroit and the economy from the Bush era: Done.

On the way to $19 trillion in debt: Done

You may not want to remember this, but the budget was balanced under Clinton. It was Bush, with his massive tax cuts for the rich and his many wars that blew up the dept. Same thing happened under Reagan. You'll also not want to remember how Cheney replied, "deficits don’t matter."

The budget was balanced after the GOP took over the House (the branch that owns the power of the purse) for the first time in 40 years.  And it took a government shutdown to do it.

But I'll grant you that the president should get the praise as well as the blame.

So how do you account for your president being responsible for more debt than the previous 43 presidents COMBINED?

Well, I think its pretty clear. No use in waiting any longer. With 2/3 of the votes for privacy, I will turn it all back to private. 

Without compelling public content how can you expect growth beyond the initial bump you get from POA SZ closing?

Pilotspin, naturally would contain that type of content but if its not public you would have to rely on meta data which doesn't really work well these days.

A model like POA works well due to the abundance of public content, seems you are trying to put the cart before the horse.

As long as POA keeps Jason's "New Spin Zone" thread as a sticky, those looking for these types of discussions will funnel to Pilot Spin.  Winning!

One sticky thread isn't going to do it.  Sticky threads become dormant, the event at POA will become old news and then where will the viewers/new members come from?

I think we mostly all agree that we want the "Spin Zone"-type discussions to be private - not searchable by google, not subject to random trolls, etc.

But I hear you about keeping the forum moving forward. What we gain in the next two months in membership could be lost in the next two years in staleness.

Perhaps there could be a single non-private forum, called "Topics in Aviation" or something similar. That could lead to traffic, and additional people who may wish to join the SZ.

Now, here's the biggest question:  how long before Jason throws up his hands and regrets founding Pilot Spin?  Jason, you've done an AWESOME job in just four days, accomplishing so much, and accommodating nearly everyone's requests. None of us would fault you if you just want to let this ride for a while so you can get back to your day job. . Again, thank you!

I love the fact that they are so ...... svelte!

Hehe!  Svelte. Love it!

This is awesome. Thanks!

Wow. I can't open the link, but that could be a game changer.

Grains, nuts, oils, and all that so called healthy stuff tears my GI system up if I eat very much of it.

I go by the old saying "too much of anything is bad" and try to eat a little of each food group every day.

Except dairy. Dairy tears me a new one. I used to love milk, but it's either my aging system or something in the milk has changed.

Getting old ain't for sissies.   

Hey, gang.  Nice to see you again. 

Thanks, Jason.  You da man!  Thanks for doing this. 

I suggest an exclusive Pilot Spin party at AirVenture 2016!
