You're describing a Value Sink

Too bad the ecosystem of this great board developed a value sink years ago. Lots of valuable info flows TO the value sink. Unfortunately, nothing of value ever emanates FROM the value sink.

Plenty of other ...stuff...comes from that same entity. Indeed, it is a source, er, a veritable fount, of that other category.

littlefish: frustration

All I know is that I used to watch planes take off and land at BWI Airport when they were redoing their runways a few years ago. Southwest "owns" BWI. They were using a single runway for takeoffs and landings of commercial aircraft, 90 percent of which were Southwest planes.

There is nothing better than listening as the landing plane hits the trust reverser while the plane waiting nearby to take off revs up those engines. The high pitched whine gives me goosebumps.

I might be seriously in need of meds!

If I ever see an A-380 takeoff or land, I might need to be sedated!
