OK, so HIS "read the POH" response was a tad harsh, but the overall
message remains a good one.

Be careful about how you treat new

Yes, you are right that my answer was not in a very pleasant tone.

Normally I'm the kind of person that tell people just read the book.
I'm not a CFI but I give training in other fields, one of the first
things I do is were to find and how to use manuals.

I was out of line here.

Please call him a name and threaten to killfile him right now or shall
have to take drastic measures.
