Subject: rec.kites in general
I found that the Kite-News and EMails in rec.kites are too much spezialised on
the USA and the US-Kiteflighers.
Because of this I will unsubcribe now.
I will try to find a discussion regarding the same theme with people
mainly "based" in Europe, sharing knowledge, dates of meetings in
Europe and so on. If you know some adress etc. please contact me !!
W wish all of you all the time a great wind, a lot of fun with your
kites, buggies etc. and - in general - all the best !!

Hmmm, i'm not sure i understand. You "think" this is mostly an 'american'
forum on kites? So therefor it is not relevant to kiting? even if this
was true, isn't that a bit shortsighted? Then you go on to state if we
know where you can get into your own click we should contact you? C'mon
Marc, don't be shy, spit it out, what are you trying to say?!?

Unfortunately the group is dominantly usa driven but only because
that's who uses it! In europe we have to contend with all the barriers
thrown up by language and nationalities and I must admit although I
admire many continental fliers I would be hard pushed to decipher even
french correspondents let alone the many differing languages from
europe's heartlands.
I am sad to admit my shortcommings with respect to foreign language
and confess to envying those who contribute here in anything other
than native tongue. The very idea of trying to write to a newsgroup
ending .de fills me with the dread I personally havent felt since high
school!
That said, there seems little comment on many of the european
manufacturers bar Fizz and Flexi or maybe I'm way out of whack there
too? Some of the kites discussed I havent the vaguest idea of their
origins. (Paimpol have not had any mention since I first looked in
here. They're the biggest kite firm in France. I Really enjoy their
Slalom. Any comments?)
Then again, the old quote "two countries separated by their common
language" still seems to ring true when I read some of the more heated
postings. I couldn't decipher these either!
So in conclusion, sorry to see anyone leave this forum and hope that
more UK and USE (united states of europe) contribute to make this a
little more ballenced assembly. (even if i have to struggle with the
translation)
May your whiskers never fall in long grass,
David G.

No, no, no, lets not *draw a line*. If want to tell people about the
great (well in dutch terms that is) beaches at Terschelling, I'll do
that in r.k., and if you don't want to read it, skip it ! The main
advantage of the internet news groups is that *everybody* can speak
and listen.
As matter of fact, I like to read about El Mirage, perhaps I'll go
there some day... and than it's because of world-wide-discussions ;-)

If I see, what kind of articles people are mailing that were used to get the
German maus-net articles, I am quite happy to only get rec.kites...

Why do you want to do this?
I mean, the discussion about kiting is independant of the place where the
kiters come from. You see, i.e. kite jumping is in Germany not less
dangerous than in Miami, Adelaide, Timbuktu, or elsewhere. So the things,
discussed in r.k. are mainly of international interest.
I for myself have learned some details about kiting which are imporant to
think over before doing something like for example getting off with a big
one or also beginning to work with a sewing machine. If you have
questions about certain details, then there is no other place, where you
can find as much experts as in r.k.
The problem of too much U.S. kiteflyers is no problem in my opinon.
And the thing about specialisation on the U.S. is just because here in
germany are the kiters relative rare. And if you think they aren't rare
(and they really are NOT rare) then there is the problem of
Internet-account. The network in ge. is not as well developed as it is in
the U.S.
Why don't you just try and ask the things you want to know about german
kiting here in r.k.?
I'm sure there are some fellows, who know about it. You don't have
to be german to know about festivals like in Damp 2000 or other places.
I lurk in daily and can't wait to hear new thoughts meanings and
discussions.
But if you find another place, let me know.
Rolf

Hear hear... Couldn't agree more... I think this forum leads to picking
up the good ideas from whichever side of the ocean and applying them.
If there's not enough info here from the European side, that's because
"we" (Europeans) don't write enough....

Wie gehts, Marc
Mir fahlt gerade ein,try maus.kites . I'm pretty sure that it's mostly
centered right there, auf Deutschland.
I appologise for my broken German and possible mispellings. It's been a

Niko, if you go to EL MIRAGE, you should go during the winter. On the
same trip come in Quebec for kite-skiing. Our frozen lakes are the "north
version" of EL MIRAGE. I kite-ski about 200 km every weeks since the end of
december.

Marc,
Sorry you feel this way. I like knowing that I am part of a global
community in kiting and that physical boundries don't separate a group of
people with common interests. I have made friends with Canadians,
Japanese, Germans, Brits, etc., at various Kite events and enjoy the
international interaction on rec.kites.
I personally like playing with any thing attached to a string or 2 or 4 or
more. If you want to find some German kite flyers, contact the DCD in
Dusseldorf. Rolph Strum is president (still, I think) and they have a
great club magazine.
Unfortunately, being an American from the US, our only exposure to other
languages is Spanish or French (if you are close enough to eastern
Canada). I truly admire the way most Europeans can speak 3 or 4
languages. But language is like anything in life, if you don't use it,
you lose it. I can barely construct a Spanish sentence (after 3 years of
it in high school 20 years ago), which is my lose.
Search out local kite flyers, but don't give up on the rest of the world.
Smooth Winds,
Alice Hayden
