The only thing which makes someone un-anonymous on USENET is being
personally known to the participants in the group or having enough
history/details to be internally consistant that (for example) yes,
this really is Dudley Henrique the Mustang fighter pilot/instructor
mentioned in several books and not some pretender assuming the name.

Identitiy theft is a processcutable crime.

The point stands: using something which looks like a real name does
NOT make someone other than anonymous on USENET. "Building the
Perfect Beast" is less anonymous than "mturner" at this point, because
he has been identified with enough detail to be consistant, by regulars
who know him and he's stated his willingness to identify himself in
email to anyone who identifies themselves sufficiently.

This issue which gets made about "sign your real name" and how "brave"
people who sign their "real name" are vs "anonymous cowards" is just
funny to people who know how USENET works. Especially given some
people's track record of posting under other "real names".

But you pretending to be knowledgable in aviation is not.

You are welcome to post one example, with Google archive references,
of a place where I have pretended to either aviation experience or
to aviation knowledge which I do not, in fact, possess. Or for that
matter to life experience which I do not, in fact, possess.

You can't do so, because I have never presented myself as anything
but what I am or as doing anything I have not done.

Interestingly, the same can not be said of Mr. Phillips. In his
own words all times, permanently archived in Google.

If you don't like my "drivel", take the advice liberally given
to others by so many of the regulars he *don't read it*.

OBTW, the proper social address for someone with an academic
doctorate is "Mr" "Miss" "Ms" or "Mrs". Consult any etiquette book.

When you're responding to me, or a couple others though, you really
let your agenda show.

If my agenda is to child women pilots who pretend to be great aviators
riding around in the right seat with their husbands, then yes, I have
to plead guilty to that agenda.

Interestingly, this is *so* identical to an off-the-wall slam at me
issued by Mr. Phillips years ago.

Truthfully, I'm old enough that I'd kinda like to go back to being
a "child woman". All too soon I'll be flattered to be called "middle
aged". (Where's Stella? Stella? At least you're not mistaken for
your daughter's Grandma!!) It's true that I rode in the right seat with
my husband last weekend -- for the first time in 3.8 years. My insurance
company and my Wings applications for the last 4 years show plenty of
logged time else.

He doesn't need me to solicite respect for him

Judging by your posts, you appear to believe that he does. In fact,
"fluffing" for him appears to be your raison d'etre here. Dissing
me in terms curiously identical to those used by Mr. Phillips, and
attempting to draw me into off-topic debate appears to be a strong
secondary agenda. You appear to have a startling lack of independence
or objectivity in your judgement on some matters.

Or maybe not so startling *g*. One theory would account for it
perfectly.

Personally, as the friend of several people who raise cattle, I think
chasing and frightening cattle by plane is the sort of immature and
ill-judged action which gives GA a bad name and a black eye. Even if
the cattle weren't directly injured, cows in calf can miscarry or give
birth prematurely, beef cows lose weight, and milk cows lower milk
production. Either way it's lost money for the farmers/ranchers who
are having hard times already. If Mr. Phillips can't find something
better to do in the air than disrespect personal property and give
harder times to hard working folk like farmers and ranchers, it's my
personal opinion GA would be better served if he stayed on the ground.
Just my personal opinion, mind. It's like people who let their dogs
loose to chase sheep or cattle. Hahahahaha, not so funny for the farmer.

You've already made clear that you think it's just fine.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled agenda.
