Default I give up, after many, many years!

Pilots are an interesting breed. I've met dozens (hundreds?) of them
over the years who will state something as fact, but will not (or can
not) explain themselves when questioned. The whole attitude is that
they are so incredibly experienced that no one should deign question
their authority on the matter.

Of course, it seems funny that someone of this mindset might frequent
a *newsgroup* -- where the free-flow of information is the whole
point. But, like I said, pilots are an interesting breed.

Trouble is, MX, I'm afraid you have burnt too many bridges behind you
to expect any further cooperation here. This thread is evidence that
your message is no longer important to many posters here, even when
what you're saying precisely parrots Bob Gardner's excellent book "The
Complete Instrument Pilot".

Since you're already semi-anonymous, you might try laying low for a
few weeks and coming back under a new name? Hell, you might even try
using your own?

Ya know, Jay, For months I've been thinking that Bertie was a little
off base with his "you're an idiot" replies to your posts.
After reading this, and a few other replies you've made to this
thread, I'm re-evaluating and beginning to question whether he may
just be somewhat more perceptive than I am.


Don't beat yourself up. I've been k00k spotting for years.
