No worries. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

I got
snickered at your post as much as anyone. It just seems that there
has been
a string of "oh my god, not another question about...." type posts in
here
over the last several months. My point was that if we constantly run
off
the "newbies" by making them feel like they can't ask "dumb"
questions or
that they can't share a joke they recently heard (nevermind that the
joke is
older than most of the planes we rent), then this NG & forum will
die.
I've monitored this NG for several years now. I tend to post a
couple of
times a week on subjects of interest to me and try to help when I
can. I
don't want to see this become a stagnant group. New blood is always a
good
thing.

I apologize for the directed attack....you were just the proverbial
"straw".

As for the IP routing....I hope you understood my point in that we
ALL have
expertise in areas that others don't. But the last thing I want to do
when I
come home from work is talk about is subnetting and RIP

Jeff,

My post was made tongue-in-cheek. I ruined the satire by marking it
"satire" for the humour impaired, still no luck...

See Satire in dictionary:

Sati n. 1.a. ... work that attacks human folly through irony,
derision, or wit.

FWIW, I have made my share of silly posts and silly questions in
this
forum and learned from the replies.

And I accept your offer to talk about IP routing any time. you will
find that I have worked in the networking field for 13 years and
have
learned a bit.

there
are
about 15 areas of concern that I could come back and completely
destroy the
person on in that one sentence. But, why? They don't know.
They
only know
that they are having a problem and are smart enough to ask for
help.

Sorry, if we've offended you with our ignorance in the past.
Let's
talk
about RIP/RIP2 and IP routing sometime.

(1) I gotta buy a flight bag. Which one should I buy?

(2) What should I keep in that flight bag?

(3) Which flash light should I buy for night flight?

(4) My wife needs a headset. Given that you do not know her or
for
that
matter, haven't seen her, Can you tell me which headset should
I
buy

(5) I just soloed, which sunglasses do I need?

(6) I got to buy a plane this month to get a huge tax break.
Which
one?
Oh! and in another thread, I have posted a question about
whether
to
save a few bucks on a transceiver by not getting the nav
feature.

(7) I am a enter profession here. I like flying, can you tell
me

p.s.:

[instrcutor to student on a night flight]: In case you have an
engine
failure at night and you are going down for an off-airport
landing,
remember to turn the landing light on so you see where you are
going to
crash.

[student]: What if I don't like what I see?
[instructor]: Turn the light off.
