Mike,

Excellent post.  The addition of specifics such as report numbers and 
information regarding where the reader can go for verification makes your post 
credible to anyone who reads it.  Otherwise, the reader might just assume you 
were nothing more than a Corvair fan stating a prejudiced opinion.

Good job.
