I was trying to think of a way to say this, but this is way
better than I could come up with.  Sometimes it seems
like there really are two different worlds of soaring.
It's the Aeroncas on one hand, and the Cirri on the other.
I'm in the Aeronca camp myself, and sometimes it seems
like the Cirrus camp considers us below contempt.  OTOH
I try to avoid resenting the guys who have the ambition
(and the bank accounts) to fly the high-class birds.

It's all just for laughs, and it's all good.
