Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Another person unsubscribed

Howdy,
I am a fairly new member and just wanted to ad a comment regarding the group and postings. Yes, I get tons of emails from this group and I can not read them all but information is the reason I joined this group, and more emails equals more information. It doesn't really matter to me what the topic is because in my opinion any issue addressed in a topic is likely to be an issue of interest to someone else, usually me. In short, keep up the good conversation all you avid posters, there is no such thing as too much information when it comes to flying. I enjoy all the posts.
