Before we continue with Anthony, let's all remember that will never
admit he is incorrect or has made a misstatement. Bottom line is that he
has never, ever flown with TCAS, TIS, ADS-B, or for that matter a Narco
Mark 12.

Rather than argue minor points, why bother since he has no experience
with any of these systems and wouldn't even know how to turn one on let
alone use it effectively or understand how they work.



Good question. I don't argue with him for that very reason. I suspect
that those who do have some burning need to feel like they have
accomplished something, but proving you have more experience than someone
who has zero experience is not much of an accomplishment in my book.
Anthony doesn't nym shift, so anyone who is annoyed can simply add him to
their killfile. I don't really care if anyone beats up on Anthony as he
well deserves it for a number of reasons, but justifying beating up on
him by saying he's a hazard to aviation is truly pathetic.


Sign me pathetic. I was trying to make a point (perhaps a bit too
strongly) about a jerk who speaks with such authority and who has zero
flying experience or credentials.


Be that as it may the problem with that approach is occassionally Anthony is
right. If you simply post a blanket statement that says Anthony is always
wrong, you might want to be sure that what he just posted was. Otherwise a
casual reader might question your knowledge, experience, and credibility
rather than his.
