For the real pilots and students, I suggest joining Pilots of America, a
moderated group. It is what this NG used to be, before it was ruined by
Anthony and his likes.

It wasn't so much ruined by Mx as much as those who cannot take a pass on
endlessly arguing with him over some ridiculous detail, or have made it
their mission to expose him as a non-pilot, all with the seemingly honorable
goal of protecting the helpless student who might read something here and
then die as a result.

What a crock. *Anyone with half a brain knows how to treat information
posted on a newsgroup, or anywhere else online for that matter. *They don't
need help from a few crusaders.

After reading this, I totally agree, and I have been one of the worst
at engaging Anthony lately. What a waste of time I have participated
in!
I will not engage Anthony or Maxwell any longer. I do feel badly for
them, though, as they demonstrate very deeply troubled & disturbed
lives. I really do enjoy the aviation here and that's why I lurk, post
& respond, or at least it should be.

Anyone who leaves rec.aviation.piloting because of a few idiots is
participating in the crock you mentioned above. The idiots here will
not have that kind of power over me, and shouldn't over anyone else.
Yes, It's a shame that we have to wade through the mire of MX, Maxwell
& others, but that's what focus, willpower, and your killfile are for.

I just purchased Agent so as soon as I figure out how to configure
this maddening newsreader I will have a killfile, too, as well as a
real newsreader. I've had Free Agent in the past but alas, It is no
more. Now I can't get AT&T to figure out their newsserver's name and
address & I have tried the ones on AT&T's website to no avail. I keep
getting failure notices from Agent when I try to download Usenet
groups & messages. I'll figure out (again) how to get Agent running
here in the next day or two, might even post a question or two if I
need help. I can't wait to get off of Google for good!

If everyone here would ignore MX, Max. and others they would probably
disappear. I notice that the recent activity of some idiots is being
largely ignored which is great. Keep it up! Here is my pledge to
completely ignore all but constructive, entertaining discussion.
