Default An Anonymous Poster Goes "Public"

After reading Doug's "READ THIS", I noted his comment that this is not an anonymous forum.

I've had a few minor posts here and there, but basically have read every post as though its part of the morning news for the better part of two years.

I'm Tim Jones, and I live about 5 miles from Vans. I work as a manufacturing engineer, and the thought of "manufacturing" my own airplane is intriguing to say the least!

Any other anonymous posters joining me?

Regards to all.

Default Stop

Welcome Tim and just stop dreaming....... I once did and finally made up my mind and 1 year and 10 months later all the loose pieces of aluminum and the thousands of rivets became airborne. That was last year, November, and the bird has 175 very happy hours on her.

See the smile in the passenger seat?

Just do it.............

Default Build Your Own 9

Tim,

Go out to Van's and get a ride in the 9. You will love it. The kit is wonderful,
and as an engineer, should be a fun experience to build your own airplane. I've been working on my 9 for a couple of years now, and enjoying every minute.

Default Rare last name here

I agree with you for the same reasons Cytoxin. However I fear I have left too much of a trail already.

Pierre: Thanks for the encouragement! I like to think that there was a bit of Divine intervention regarding my close location to Vans! My wife has approved the project, but we've got a BIG lanscaping job to complete this year. Shooting for a 2008 start ...

Yukon: You are right - I need to hop on the bike and take an RV-9a demo ride!

Captain John: You are a FUNNY guy!

Cytoxin: I understand your concerns, but I share the sentiments of Mark's post.

Mark: Nice quote!

Regards to all,

the prospect of identity theft does not interest me as well. but for those of you that divulge. well i comend you. but when a stranger comes up to you and knows more about you than you do. kinda makes me want to clean up the trail some. i can immagine that some of the high profile guys here kinda wish they sometimes were not so high profile.
Cytoxin,
I hear what you're saying and I respect your decision. Personally, I don't believe the 007 approach is worth the effort.

Good things can come from people knowing who you are and where you live.

Mark

I get that alot!

Honestly, I have met some really cool people from boards like these. My identity is vaguely shielded. I put the KPYM in the lcoation box and if you are so inclined to google or FAA search the "N" number, I can easily be located.

I just choose not to put it all right out there and make people do some work for it!

As most people know, I am pretty involved here at the local level and make a presence out here on the web. If you are from New England, I have probably heard your name and you may have heard mine.

When these faceless, sterile environments are the means of meeting people, some seem to forget that there is really a person on the other side of the conversation. I am not an application!

Keepin' it real!

CJ

Default call me anonymous...

I am 100% in cytoxin's corner. I don't need folks googling my name and then reading every post for a whole lot of reasons - including security. I have no problem giving D.R. my name... heck... I'll give him my cell phone#. But do I need my name posted? No thanks. You all can put a name and face to my post if we meet at a fly-in some day!
