"And does anybody else see the irony of people posting under an alias accusing me of being paranoid?"
LOL, good point Dave! I'm blessed not to have the copters buzzing us...most of the time. As for the paranoid talk, what I'm hearing is that if you don't like loud, low-flying helicopters buzzing your property--or even strangers without the common courtesy to ask permission to enter your gated yard--then you must be paranoid! Of course this would seem to imply that such "paranoid" people are hiding something rather than simply valuing their privacy and peace of mind. A bit presumptuous, not at all in the spirit of "assuming the best". The irony is that the innocent, law-abiding folks are the real victims.
Once again it comes down to lack of respect for people.
That said, I do tolerate the copters now and then. And you've never heard a peep from me. But that's just me, I've got the ability to block 'em out. But I'd never think of calling another person "paranoid" for complaining, particularly if I haven't walked a mile in their moccasins. That said, please feel free to call me paranoid if it amuses you :-)
I suppose if I drink beer all afternoon the copters won't seem so bad...and I'll be much more likely to invite strangers into my yard ;-)
Best wishes of aloha and peace of mind to the folks being buzzed.
