And VFR pilots didst say unto the CAA "Give us the shekels so that we may
train and fly under thine IFR rules".
And, verily, the CAA said "Sod Off Brutus".
Then Regional airports issued the edict "GA pilots can sod off from here
too".
And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Lo and behold a stranger brought gifts called GPS and the VFR pilots said
unto the CAA and regional airports "Up yours squire, we don't need you any
more."
And VFR pilots created many private strips and set up camp there and they
were happy.

In the beginning there was VFR and the pilots did look and find this good
and practice their flying in contented silence.
But the powers were not happy and accidents they must avoid so the word was
spoke and IFR didst they create and from their control rooms they did
preach.
Again the pilots did look and some were happy.
But scism there was and the idol VFR would continue to be worshipped
through-out the lands. The messengers were sent forth to preach the gospel
IFR and the zealots did insist this be the one faith but still pilots
continued to practise at the VFR alter and the old ways remain.
Some tried putting up the fees to drive them out but land-owners did show
them leigeance and the true faith did survive.
Thus the enlightened did agree that both have their place but Heavy Metal
zealots would seek to preach their word and disharmony would it cause with
General Avaiation.
A prayer be sent forth asking they be shown the error of their ways and
harmony be restored through-out the IVAO lands.

We'll have to spread the faith, or some such rubbish.
