urg isn't all that bad actually. Some sniping based on long standing

I naively subscribed to an air safety newsgroup a few years ago.
It was full of airline pilots and amateur flyers competing to throw each
other the most obscene insults!
urg seems like a peaceful oasis.

I once inadvertantly offended a commercial pilot acquaintance - on hearing
his description of his flights for that week (five days of Manchester to
Edinburgh, then to Madrid, then back to Manchester), I said "it must be a
bit like driving a bus for a living"; he got a bit huffy after that.
