I guess if you're reading this I'm probably preaching to the converted, but
if the perception above emanated from the factory then I think its a bit
shortsighted - or at least providing for the lowest common denominator.
The U.S. does seem to rely on the Internet more and more for information -
I think the U.K is probably a little way behind in this respect.
Unfortunately, the Internet seems to be still regarded by some as a sort of
'computer nurd' type thing and not to be taken too seriously.
In fact I would say that in the U.S it is almost 'expected' for
manufacturers to use the web as more than just another method of
advertising and to provide details of 'known issues' and workarounds as
well as official mods.
Because people build at different rates, the posting of factory written mod
status e-mails to all builders indictating 'if you're about to do such and
such - hold on, there's a mod imminent' would be of real benefit. It would
also cut out the 'mod rumors' we sometimes see floating around this forum.
Many 'publishing' software packages these days on which hardcopy
newsletters are written will also convert to HTML for use on the Internet
so its not difficult to do.
How about it Europa Aviation?
