Jim I'm not going to praise Bertie whatsoever, but I have
noticed with all the Bertie bashing that has taken place, he
(or she) has started to contribute actual information more and more.
Weather it's from peer pressure or just tired of swallowing his
own crap, he is contributing, however after reading this I'll bet he
reverts.

Bertie answers queries like the one about the airliner that landed
short because of fuel starvation.

From the depth of the answers he's at home with the theory and
practice of 'heavies'

From my knowledge of him he treats the curious well answering their
questions.

He, however does not suffer fools gladly, a trait that on newsgroups
is an admirable thing.
