Reading through it once, I was able to tell Robert (Bob?) was just trying to make a few people laugh while highlighting something new(ish) and unusual. He also was just trying to voice his own apprehension about riding in one in a humorous manner. I'm not sure where you gather that he has a lack of knowledge regarding the "gyrocopter," but I doubt anyone interested in it is going to come to this post and say "oh my...he's right! This contraption is insane! We need to shut this operation down right now!!!" It's a *BLOG*. Introduce yourself to the forum of unbridled opinion and stop taking everything you read so seriously. Summary: take a chill pill, dorks. To the people who are so quick to jump down the original poster’s throat:

I can vouch for Bob’s sensitivities. Heck — he won’t even fly business class.

I guess God did intend man to fly! I wonder how long it would take for a person to collect enough lift to equal his own mass. Anybody?

Interest is up! Keep them 'shill' dollars coming. Yer bud, Shawn p.s. The Christmas tin of variety popcorns was a classy touch; even if late (it's August!), somewhat stale and obviously previously sampled. Dear Mr. Basler,
It seems to be working. Interest is up! Keep them ’shill’ dollars coming.

Yer bud,
