Me too. Yesterday I posted something that was wrong, or at
the least outdated and incomplete. Bob Gardner corrected
me, and now I know something more than I did before. Would
Bob have known of my error if not for this thread? Would he
have managed to transfer his knowledge to me if I had not
posted a reply? What benefit would there be to the pilots
here if Bob had tried to engage in some form of thread
boycott?
I don't post for Mx. I never reply just for the person who
originally posted. I post for the information I can give to
those who read the thread and the information I can receive
from those who know more.
Sure, I hope Mx will eventually see the light, but it
bothers me not if he never flies and uses the information
just for simming. Maybe his love of accuracy in the flight
sim will transfer an interest in flying to another sim pilot
who just can't wait to come out to the airport and put some
of that accurate knowledge to use. I've got a detailed book
on aerial combat tactics. I'll never fly a fighter in
combat, except perhaps in a sim, but I still want to know
about such things.
