t is not your right or power (even though you are a mod) to warp the newsletter to the way you want it to be. You have not contributed to the AVA discussion, and thus cannot speak or represent the VAs progress. I have edited it to make it less controversial (as you pointed out, the "disease" statement was a bit much, but you are trying to propogandize the Newsletter. We do not live in a perfect forum world! Setback will occur; but you can't just pretend they never happened. But we have shown we can overcome them, and that makes a good story. Please stop interfering with reporting on this topic. Thank you. | |||

Dubai
I'm not sure what the second 2 sentences in the "Dubai" section are trying to say.
- Looks good now, Gijs
Virtual Airlines
Uh, this stuff looks very gossipy, referring to bickering in the forums, etc. I don't think that looks very good in a newsletter. I vote for either just a couple of sentences, sans gossip or outright deletion of this section before "publication"
- Ok, I cleaned it up. The newsletter is not meant for publicising personal opinions or mysterious stuff. The current paragraph gives a summary of the progress that has been made, as that is excactly the kind of things people expect to read in a NEWSletter.
- Feel free to improve anything else.

- PS: RatOmeter, please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~), so we know who said what and when ;)
- Not neccessary, Gijs!
- Can you please explain why you think it should be kept? I had responses from multiple people (including respectable FG developers), who did not like the paragraph and said it doesn't fit the newsletter's purpose, as explained by me above...

- Statements like "The disease that is sucking the life out of the FlightGear Virtual Airline industry" cast a very negative tone in what has been (and IMO, should remain) a newsletter about the positive developments in and around FlightGear.
