Jason;
I think the problem is that there is so much **** being hurled on
these groups that sane folks see a need to try to put a sock in it.
It seems that whatever some people read on the internet, they tend to
believe. I've seen people ask critical questions about operation,
engine rebuilding tips, rigging procedures, etc., and they haven't a
clue as to who is responding. I've also called upon vast practical
knowledge to respond to those in need with actual facts and have been
criticized by those who feel they must show superiority and closure.
Fact is, your post, although sent with all the best intentions, was
ridiculous.

Now the best thing to do is to stop your crying, don't take it
personally and move on. In a week nobody will remember it. Should
you not take that advice, you will be known as a troll and the folks
that responded to you will realize they've been had all along!

This is pointless... Sarcasm, name calling, abuse??? So do you treat all
fellow aviators the same when they share advice that you don't understand
the first time they say it? I usually just say something like "What, could
you explain please?" That usually works for me, and then in the future they
offer more advice... If I decided to resort to your methods I doubt I'd have
any friends and I know people wouldn't offer me any advice again... That's
my opinion... You obviously have your own, and that's cool with me...

Somone might be looking for airplane advice... People call him all the

to ask if "whatever" plane is a good deal or "is it worth it..."

There's nothing wrong with getting advice from many different people...
I
found a guy who is an excellent resource for advice on money and
airplanes... SO I DECIDED TO SHARE IT.... The rest is up the readers as
to
if they want to use the resource or not, and then, of course they can
decide
if it's a good resrouce...

Really?! Thank you! For awhile there I was fairly sure that we all
have to accept the opinion of anyone posting to Usenet. Now I know I
can decide on my own. How empowering!

So I don't see why this had to turn into anything more than the single
post
it began as...

It was because your post was dumb. Post something dumb on Usenet and
someone is likely to call you on it. Someone did. Then you whined about
it... I hate dumb whining so I jumped in. Keep coming up with dumb stuff
to say and maybe we can get others to join.

If you really want people to believe that flight instructors/examiners
are the ones to seek when financing a plane, you've got some explaining
to do. If you want to apologize for not expressing what you intended in
the original message, get to it. This is not the way.

Oh, by the way, my dogs fly with me all the time so if you're considering
overhauling your engine or upgrading your avionics, make sure to give 'em
a call.
