Re: Being Proactive About Paper Airplanes on Einstein

Like anything else, it's a fun activity that is spoiled by people who clearly don't think before doing. 90% of the people play by the rules and it's fine, the other 10% spoil it for everyone.

Ostensibly the challenge is to create a plane or two or five, and fly it to see how far you can make it go. It's like a little engineering challenge.

The people who spoil the fun for everyone:
People who toss airplanes at the wrong time, such as during matches.
People who toss non-airplanes just for the sake of tossing them, such as crumped balls of paper or other litter. (Why?)
People who go overboard, tossing buckets of scrap paper down without even bothering to make a plane.

I do agree that if you make 'em, you should participate in cleaning up afterward.
