There is a big difference between personal comments and common

knowledge of quantum physics.


What correlation is there between prostitution and knowledge of quantum
physics?

You said it yourself, that you have no
interest in dealing with the opposite sex and would rather sit at your
simulator all day/night long.


Sounds good to me.

I just pointed out the irony of that with the city of Paris.


Paris is not a bordello.

I have a life, including a significant other.


I have a life, also, but it excludes a significant other.

While I may not
have as much experience as others here, I do possess a steady
knowledge of aviation and flying; not as much as those who do it here
for a living, but enough for them to realize that I am learning, and
not assuming that anything simulated is real.


In other words, you're not a pilot, but you salivate when a pilot rings a
bell, so that's okay.

Bottom line: you want respect with this group of people who
have the experience you keep blasting and claim that their experience
is wrong, you have to earn it.


I don't care about respect, only information. I don't blast people; those who
might arguably be worthy of blasting usually do enough damage to themselves,
anyway.

But once again, I digress..


Yes, once again. It would be nice if you would limit yourself to the topic at
hand, however much I fascinate or intimidate you personally.
