I am not sure why you guys are beating up the guy.

It's called the lemmings syndrome. It feels good to be part of a crowd, it
warms the soul to pat on each other's shoulders and last but not leat it
gives a sweet feeling to beat and kick an outsider, especially as part of
a group. Now if you can get all those positive feelings with a single
short post, then Usenet saves you a lot on psychiatrist fees.

And if you think that any of this is possible in Usenet, you're the one who
needs therapy.

IMO, Usenet is the most egalitarian thing I've ever run accross or
participated in. You earn your stripes here. If you've been there and done
that, walked the walk, insert other hackneyed phrase here, etc, you'll
encounter nothing but respect, help and appreciation.

But, to come to this newsgroup, a newgroup devoted to the piloting of
aircraft and publicly announce that you:
- Have a disdain for flying (Aircraft are unsafe)
- Distrust the pilots (Only the idle rich can afford to fly)
- Consider GA to be comprised of nothing but "Tin Cans" and/or "Bug
Smashers"
- Have never even wanted to fly anything, anwhere at anytime (I can't afford
it...the medical requirements are too stringent...blah, blah, blah...)
- Consider Microsoft Flight Sim to be superior to real flying (Did you know
Baron's have ejection seats?)
- Are superior both in attitude and inteligence without any taste of the
previous 5 points (How can I trust the answers I'm being spoon fed? Or the
books they come from?)

Then guess what, you're going to be handed your hat and shown the door. And
if you happen to catch a great big size eight in the ass as you go..fine by
me.
