You’re far more gracious than I. If someone were to call something I’m clearly passionate about “silly” I don’t think I’d respond genially.

To be fair, he was quoting me exactly -- my original description used that word.
Yes, I would not have described it as such otherwise. I’d love to have a silly little electric paramotor, because then I’d have a paramotor.

I prefer a silly little electric paramotor over a big honking gas-powered paramotor, because I know what I’m willing to maintain. My question was solely about flight time, but reading it without the thread context does make me look like a jerk.

No harm, no foul.
