Let me also say that I am not a happy camper - participation in the End of Year Bash is far from acceptable, and lack of participation is not only too bad for you, but also the others. Remember, with good participation levels, not ONE but TWO pilots win a medal at the end! Plus, you can win something other than an IS-BR for a change! So get to it!

You may note tghis report's a wee bit later than usual. That's because a] I was hoping to still get a Flight Report, and b] I was flying my ass off in order to beat Woody in the monthly Ace competition. Since I've decided this is my last heavy duty flying month, I'm not gonna let that IS-GW miss my inbox :)

And yes, I do not apologize to the TCCOM for flooding his inbox with pilotfiles. After all, he might get borted. It's gonna be an interesting 3 weeks for him :)

This doesn't mean I'm gonna stop flying though, it just means I'm going to foxus my attention to the large amount of bug reports left in the database. They all have to go. Alsom, with virtually all of the compendium decrypted, we're going to have to get those unencrypted mission up. I just haven't decided yet where to fit in the manual installation instructions. Updating every single README.TXT is preferable, but tedious. Still, might be worth it :)

The Weekly Trivia this week was very close - in the end, two pilots ended up with the same points total and I have recommended the medal for both of them as a tie. If the TCCOM disagrees I'll have to make a choice. Let's hope he agrees :)

I would like toi remind ALL pilots that any activity that passes via the TC database is fine - all e-mails are being sent and received. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the EH database... Earlier this week, once again, I did not receive e-mail when one of my pilots completed an IU course. As such, if you have any activity at all that would generate e-mail from the EH database, forward me that e-mail when you get it as there's a good chance I won't have goltten it....
 

With his dummy on his knee, he's going through his usual jokes about "the dumb kids these days" when a young fellow in the fourth row stands on his chair and starts shouting:
"I've heard enough of your stupid put-down jokes about my generation. What makes you think you can stereotype us that way? What does age have to do with worth as a human being? It's guys like you who keep young people like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person, because you and old-timers like you continue to perpetuate insulting discrimination against us...and all in the name of humor!"

The ventriloquist is embarrassed and begins to apologize, when the young man yells, "You stay out of this, mister! I'm talking to that little jerk on your knee!"
