I suspect Mx is striving for recognition any way he can. You may
remember he posted a note once about not being able to afford a
McDonald Happymeal, and his website does ask for donated money.

He, I think, resent many on this site can use avgas at the rate of
20 Big Macs with Cheese an hour. "How can", some in his
circumstances often ask, "such obviously inferior people be doing
so well compared to me?"

That could be. But that doesn't explain why a control freak puts so
much time into trying to oust him from the group (especially since
it just ain't going to happen), and so little time debunking his
arguments. If I were a pilot, I probably wouldn't bother much unless
his advice was unsafe, then I'd jump on it.

I see that on the professional side of my life quite a lot.

And others here might ask, "How come a non pilot like tina posts
so often." The answer of course is I'm brilliant (and do get some
right seat time too).

In a professional group like this, really useful might be to include
a very brief summary of past and present flying experience at the
end or in the signature of a post, especially when discrediting
someone for lack of piloting experience.

Good luck and have fun.

Listing experience on Usenet is really a lost cause. Anyone can state
anything about experience and it can be true or false.
The best and only way to deal with Usenet properly in my opinion anyway,
is simply to post information and data. Those who know will know
immediately what is right and what is bull crap.

Those who don't know are well advised to check out everything they read
on Usenet with competent authority before accepting the poster or what
has been posted as fact.
Those newbies hanging out on a group like this one for any length of
time soon learn who to trust and not to trust by watching the reaction
and counter posting to those who post on the forum.
Basically the old rule about Usenet still applies and has merit even
today. Come on in....lurk for a while....get a handle on who's who and
what's being said; then enter the group by ASKING something rather than
telling people what you know. If you know something that you'd like to
contribute, by all means do so, but those doing that right away should
at least TRY and use a little tact :-)
