Private pilots like you and Del for example do not have adequate
background or experience to be posting opinions about things as
complex as ATC services.

That is one reason I haven't done so. Also, the places I want to fly,
there is no ATC. It looks like you have some sort of gripe with Sydney
stemming from posts in another newsgroup, and if that is the case I
would appreciate you leaving me out of it.

pointed this out to you. Now Del thinks I'm checking the FAA data
base to determine how long he's had his license and what ratings he
has.

I honestly don't care what you do; I was just making the point that I
haven't misrepresented myself and that my info can be verified if
anybody really wants. The same cannot be said of you. For all anybody
here knows you are just a solo student posing as an airline captain. I
doubt if that is the case, but where do you get off criticizing others
for lack of flying experience when your own has not been established?
Not wanting to post your personal information to usenet is fine, but it
leaves you with zero credibility when you slam those who do. While I do
not agree with everything he has posted here, at least your hero BWB
posts under his own name and is a known quantity to the members of the
group.

I've learned a lot about flying and homebuilts from reading BWB's posts
over the years, along with other members of the group. As a low time
private pilot building his own airplane I believe that some of this
knowledge is vital to my survival and I am thankful to have been exposed
to it. At your claimed level of experience, you would be equally worth
listening to, but I have to disregard your info because I have no way of
judging your veracity. On the other hand, I've personally met at least
one of the regulars here who knows Bill, and can verify that they are
the real deal and worth listening to. One of these years my schedule
will allow me to attend the P-ville flyin and meet some of the rest.
The nice thing about Alaska is the isolation from the 48. Unfortunately,
it is also the bad thing sometimes.
