A Lesson Learned
First, let me say that I had a very nice discussion with Jim Long last night. I called him to apologise for a pretty rude post I had made on a subject line he had started. I thought he was someone else when I made the comment, but one thing I learned was that a rude comment, no matter the reason is never really called for and serves no good purpose. I also learned to make a more thorough analysis of a situation before I make any kind of reply.
Jim was more than generous in his acceptance of my apology, and one of the most gracious and interesting people I have talked to in years. Our conversation went on into aviation in general and he had some wonderful stories to tell. I guess we talked almost an hour and I must say I was a little regretful when the conversation had to come to an end.
Not only did I learn a good lesson, I gained a good friend. Thanks Jim.

I know that at least a couple of folks have had conversations with Mr. Long, but unfortunately I haven't seen any evidence that he's tried to come back here. He sounds like a good guy to have in a conversation, so I hope he chooses to join in on this or another aviation-related forum...
