The thread from the Pilots equivalent of HN is worth a read - http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/574720-virgin-atlantic-flight-london-ny-returns-after-pilot-hurt-laser-incident.html http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/574720-virgin-atlantic-fl...
- nvader 11y agoThanks for the share, that was a very illuminating read (accidental pun). As an aside, why do they all spell laser as "l@ser"? There's 3 instances of "laser", two are from the title repeated, and one is in the body. This means that that the common spelling is not banned or masked on that forum. Yet everyone else spells it with the @ sign, about 79 times, which is egregious.

It's to avoid all the contextual ads on the site being for high-powered lasers, which some posters found irritating or offensive. I don't know why some posts seem exempt from the policy though. Mod posts maybe?
