sorry for the naive question, but what is all this fuss
about Mxsmanic?
Go back and read all the posts...

ok, will do.

I've read most of them and I don't think he's a troll. He
sees things from a different perspective than most pilots
here, he's often wrong, he's more certain that he's right
than he ought to be, but IMHO, he's not a troll.

I have "known" Mxsmanic from other newsgroups for a number of years, and
agree with your opinion that he is not a troll. He may employ a rather
obnoxious learning style -- challenging those who actually know the real
answers to his questions with his misconceptions -- but I do think he is
genuine and not simply trying to upset folks a la Skylune.
