one might think these organizations want nothing to do with this site and you'd probably be right. as a whole, we're sure their public policy is that this site is wrong and it should go away. however, individuals within apparently find this site a source of information and/or perhaps a way to release bridge jumper news that would otherwise not see the light of day. they know they can always give jumper news anonymously, with confidence their identity, if provided, will not be divulged by us. we appreciate these organizations for the work they do, both on and off the skyway. we wish them much success and safety from harm. |
