Uh, no. What Ron Natalie said was:

"The engine in just about every airplane out there runs just freaking
fine
without any electrical power consumed nor delivered to the rest of the
aircraft."

It's an accurate statement - that's probably what confused you.

"Without any electrical power consumed." And before you say it, "nor"
excludes the remainder of the sentence (unlike "or").

Hmm, why does "Pedantic Usenet Ass" leap to mind?

Okay, s_l_o_w_l_y now, "The engine in just about every airplane out there
runs just freaking fine without any electrical power consumed...", is what
Mr. Natalie said. "The assertion was that there was no electricity in some
aircraft" is what you said. "Who asserted no electricity" is what I said.
To anyone but a pedantic usenet ass, Mr. Natalie's statement is clear - the
ENGINE runs fine without any electrical power being consumed - it generates
it's own electricity using a magneto. It does not CONSUME electricity - no
outside source of electricity.

Repeating the question you snipped, who asserted no electricity?

Has anyone trademarked "pedantic usenet ass" yet? I think I first saw it in
a McNicoll / Honeck thread.
