Based on the always present and usual situation whenever and every time

you

post to me, I'll just assume you would like nothing better than to
"catch"
me on something untrue so rather than "explain" the circumstances of the
flight to you, I'll simply suggest that you check the crew requirements

for

a ferry flight and hope that will be the end of it.


Listen Dudley, I posted, I thought, a very civil question. I think it
would
be way cool to get to fly the heavy stuff, even for a person such as
yourself, with lots of experience in other types. I would also think
that
you would *not* have posted an experience in a public forum, where
there
was something for you to have to hide, or anyone to able catch you in
anything. That was not my purpose, or goal, in any way.

And here I thought I was the only one that Dudley thought was out to get
him and who received nasty emails from him. :-)

Sorry, but I have never used the phrase "out to get him". That's a personal
choice of yours I think, designed to illicit a specific picture in the mind
of the reader. Typical and predictable Usenet technique I might add. :-)

I challenged him once and he got mad and took his marbles home

I think you really do like these negative discriptive phrases "took his
marbels home" is interesting I'll admit.


and then
thought he could tell me that I couldn't respond to his public usenet
posts.

If you mean I said you might have a problem making your point on the public
forum, you might be more correct.


I've never seen anyone get so upset over something so trivial in
the scheme of life and then hold a grudge with such vengeance.

Hardly upset. Your phrasing again. Actually, I don't hold grudges. I just
like or dislike people as I see fit.
Along the lines of what you have said here about my holding a grudge, I
notice you quoted only my initial response to the message you were using and
completely ommited my second response; the time between the two posts
indicating I held this 'grudge" for the length of one sensible post from the
poster you quoted. So you see, I don't hole grudges. In fact, my second post
would indicate that I respond immediately to intelligent and sincere comment
and am capable of a lighting quick apology to those whom I have mistakenly
tangeled with.
Perhaps if you used the same approach to me that the poster I answered in
this thread did, you and I wouldn't have had any issues.....but then you
didn't did you? Instead you insert a totally negative post. That's a shame,
but it's not my fault my friend.
Just to refreash your mind a bit, here's the response that completes the
quoted text....you know, the part you DIDN'T present in your post about me.

In this thread; DH wrote to Jim in NC;

"I'm sorry, and you're right of course. I guess I'm a bit gun shy on Usenet
these days.
It seems that in the last month, I've seen a post saying I wasn't a pilot at
all, and that the only flying I do is with Microsoft's flight simulator.
Then I saw one that said I wasn't in the FAA data base. Then I saw one that
complained about my signature file. Then I saw one that said my name had
been found in the data base. Then I saw one that suggested I wasn't Dudley
Henriques at all. Then I saw one that said I could be an imposter using
Dudley Henriques' name.
I guess I've finally come to the conclusion that there really isn't any way
to verify I'm who I say I am, so based on that, there really isn't any
reason to believe anything I say as Dudley Henriques. I might as well use a
pseudonym and be done with it.
This of course is the basic Usenet equation that postulates the only thing
that matters is the quality of the information, which is fine, except for
the fact that I know who I am, and I'm the one taking the time to contribute
my life experience to the cause so to speak; so when I post an experience
I've had and someone questions it without one of these damn :-) things, and
in lieu of all the other crap I've had to endure on Usenet, I get a bit gun
shy with people. In your case, it was a mistake and I apologize. I'll make
an attempt to rectify the mistake.
As for the flight; it was a ferry flight to get the bird up to Fairbanks to
replace one that went down with a serious maintenance problem. Naturally I
was in the jump seat "officially", as I wasn't rated in the airplane. We
were short a flight engineer and had a crew of two plus myself. My friend
happened to be the chief check pilot for the DC8 and he flew the left seat.
I was asked to fly the right and did so all the way through taxi out to taxi
in. (with a little prompting of course from the left seat :-)
It was a great experience. I came home on the company Lear the next evening
and slept all the way :-))

Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clearly shows a tendency to hold a grudge all right!!! And
absolutely NO tendency at all toward civil discourse I'd say!! Why I must be
every thing you said I am. Clearly!! :-))))

I respond to usenet posts, not usenet posters. I don't hold grudges and
keep records and frankly don't understand those who do.

Well....in this case I'd say that since you weren't involved in the
discussion to begin with, and CHOSE to insert a totally negative post about
someone who had not even addressed you in this thread, it just might be YOU
who has the problem here old buddy but that's not important really.
I'll just suggest that you re-read my response to Jim again.....BOTH of them
this time, then if you want to post again we'll talk about my 'grudge"
problem.......OR, you can post something about aviation next time, and we'll
see how THAT goes. I'm sure everybody else would appreciate that as well.
After all, it's an aviation newsgroup you know. :-))))))
