rankamateur Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 No problems providing info but why does it need to be public?.....google now outsourcing?Quite willing to fill out surveys or whatever for your...ah.......marketing. In the modern world identity theft is rife. I try to maintain a minimum online footprint. I buy my online thongs three sizes smaller for that very reason! 1
Bandit12 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Sheesh, we talk about our kids living in the age of entitlement and yet here we have adults who aren't prepared to put in a little to gain a lot. I'm all for protection of personal information, but seriously Google already knows a heck of a lot more about all of us than what aircraft we fly most, what licence we have, or even where we live. 1
winsor68 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 What about those of us who have lapsed Ra Aus certificates...? We can't really claim another field besides enthusiast...

bexrbetter Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 2. I am surprised that the ratio of International users i.e. non-Australian licenses, is a lot lower than I had thought. There is a lot of Oz political stuff, RAAm, CASA, etc. here daily so that doesn't surprise me at all and I've seen that mentioned at other forums about this forum as well. - messenger, don't shoot .... I Sorry, can you repeat that, I fell asleep halfway through .....
rdarby Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 For me the problem is that there was suddenly a barrier when I tried to log on. This makes me think it is too hard and I will go elsewhere. The site should not deter people. 1
AVOCET Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Sorry, can you repeat that, I fell asleep halfway through ..... Nobody loves us : not
Bernie Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Yes Ian your trying to fix some thing that's not broke again. Bernie.

The site should not deter people. Come on guys! It takes maybe 60 seconds of your time ONCE! You do it once & it's done, it's not like you're filling in a tax return every time you log on. Reality check time! 6
Bandit12 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 A bit of a gun to your head to get into site. Hardly - you get the site and all of its resources for free. Answering a couple of questions is a long way from unreasonable. Maybe you feel a membership fee to access the site would be more appropriate? 2 1
bexrbetter Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Yes Ian your trying to fix some thing that's not broke again. "you're" A moment to say thanks to you Ian for all your hard effort to give me something entirely for free - something that seems to be forgotten by some posters. 2 2
Powerin Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 "you're"A moment to say thanks to you Ian for all your hard effort to give me something entirely for free - something that seems to be forgotten by some posters. Yes...but don't forget where a lot of the resources come from....us! So I'd also like to thank the members that contribute their knowledge here (also free of charge ) 1 1
dodo Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Hardly - you get the site and all of its resources for free. Not very accurate. You can access almost all resources without registering.... But if you wish to contribute to the resource, you must register. dodo PS I don't have a problem with providing the information, but I was pretty unimpressed with trying to log in and getting personal questions stuffed in my face. I got over it, but it isn't a great way to do things.
