Yes, I agree (midwif)!!!
I am no way qualified to judge, but: I came to the U.S. from the former USSR and I am so sick and tired of censoring, I have had enough. If Epic is going to do it... Poor Epic.
I confess, I am lurking there all the time, and I still think it is a good site, but it is mostly good for ski (PSIA) instructors, not for newbies - there is a lot of experienced skiers posting there, egos collide, etc.. I am a newbie, I would like not to argue about credentials, I have NO credentials, I just want to learn from those wh post there. I learn much more here.
Why all the vitriol? Why just before a very good and informative discussion between Max and BB, there should be a string of derogatory statements on an Epic PMTS-related thread? I think I have to agree with SCSA - it must be business. It should be
SCSA, I hope to ski with you sometimes (when I becme a better skier) and talk. I enjoyed your analysis
Thanks to all who keep THIS forum intact. There was a recent provocative thread, which also hurt me a lot. I am no native English speaker myself and I did not like the attacks of an invader who ranted about spelling issues but also forgot how to spell "surprise" correctly himself. He also had a "question" to Harald, which he did not want the others to answer. I always thought that there existed a PM option? Why enter a forum with no intent to communicate?
I tend to think that the recent outbreak of an old PSIA-PMTS feud has a simple explanation: the book (Essentials) is out, and some reaction is expected.
Would you excuse me for possible spelling problems?
Finally, I am leaving tomorrow for Europe (Andorra). Anyone knows about a way to get PMTS instruction or company there? JIC.
Cheers,
