Clyde, if I saw my reminder as a disclaimer I'd have labeled it as such. 
I promote selective reading because it can enhance the message board experience--with just a little customizing effort many members can post widely varying opinions, cordially side by side.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that there's another side of the board--PMs. Those I receive (some from Flex folks) are supportive of my posts and don't share the negative opinion some have expressed. I think offering moral support and learning about other fracs is important and I've been assured it is appreciated so I will continue participating in those conversations. It must be noted that those who have no interest in my posts can simply ignore/block them, allowing other readers the right (often overlooked by complainers) to choose for themselves.
I think the unseen audience/those only reading also tend to be forgotten by those posting. I get supportive PMs from that group, too, so I'm aware that others don't care for the derogatory comments too often seen here. As a member of FI, I'd like to see it have a favorable rating with all of the frac community so I encourage civil discourse. Alas, the popcorn crowd and I have different priorities...
It is incorrect to tie my reason for posting here strictly to NJ. I am very interested in the other fracs as part of a virtual community sharing common ground and a similar lifestyle--one my actual neighbors can't relate to-- and I firmly believe that fair, strong industry standards (achieved thru union or nonunion means, btw that was a disclaimer..) will benefit all frac pilots and their families.
Clyde, your advice has been noted and I appreciate your respect, but please don't be offended or surprised when I defer to the PMs mentioned above.
Thanks to all who support a tolerant message board where frac issues/events are discussed respectfully in a friendly atmosphere. NJW
