You used the Usenet equivalent of shooting him in the ass with a .45 to get
his attention. You could have done so in a much more civilized manner and
just as effectively.

The only thing you have done is make sure that I, as well as any other
new pilots, will never ask an honest question on the ng again if we
feel we may be at fault. Having an obscured partial name is a lot
different than having your full name come up on a search engine. I
understand everything you said Larry, and I truly appreciate the bits
that were constructive. But posting of a name was totally
unnecessary. The mistakes I made during my flight have been on my
mind all day. I realize the magnitude of my mistake. I have scheduled
some time with my CFI to discuss this, and go throught the track log
of the GPS in the plane I rented.

Every time I have dealt with other pilots, I was under the impression
that we were somehow united as a group. I now realize that is not
entirely true.
