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.


If someone wants to question my knowledge, experience and credibility,
they can be my guest.

I know a few things about a few medical procedures. But, I don't
pretend I am a medical doctor on some medical forum.

The guy just plain ****es me off.
