As for the Branko thing, I wouldn't worry about it, it only leads down the path of a flame war it seems and isn't really worth the mention. I've noticed it being "new" back here again after a prolonged absence, and it seems no different to the flame wars back in the "old" days lol just another person with a chip on their shoulder making trouble, some people agree with them and support them, others disagree and argue against them. Either way the end result is the same, lots of squabbles, locked threads, and pointlessly typed characters giving them creedence.
I honestly wouldn't worry about it. I dont know her, I bear no ill will, I don't wish to know her, and I remove myself from the situaiton, I would advise all others to do the same, and focus on why we are all really here, which is to enjoy the community of a common interest, which is the Flight Sim
I look forward to seeing you online Akula
