Very true, just thought that some, including the impostor,
would like to see the info that is available to catch them. He might even be in violation of Federal law and face some time in prison. -- Merry Christmas Have a Safe and Happy New Year Live Long and Prosper Jim Macklin "Peter R." wrote in message ... | Jim Macklin wrote: | | Here is the header info from the imposter... | | Not needed.

![]() Matt Center point refueling didn't shut off when tank was full and Ka-boom went the wing.

I'll bet the fleet is grounded and they require immediate, "before further flight" NDT inspections of the wings, etc. Chalk's has voluntarily grounded thier Mallards and is performing an exhaustive test of the spars on one of them now. The NTSB rep voiced the opinion that age alone would not be sufficient to cause this failure; some additional stress would be required. A pretty irresponsible statement for an NTSB person. Fatigue can cause a stressed member to fail at a very low load, much less than even flight loads. I seem to remember a picture of a Buff whose wing had failed on the ground. It has been years and I don't remember the details, but it seems like it was due to something fairly innocous such as refueling. I believe fatigue was determined to be the root cause. Matt |

Looks like the fake MW is jeopardizing his dial-up Internet account. I didn't think anyone in the US used dial-up anymore, what with cheap broadband almost ubiquitous. "Cheap" broadband costs twice what dial-up does. In addition, rural telcom networks usually can't handle DSL and those same areas are likely to be outside the cable service areas. That leaves satellite, which has it's own set of problems (including the cost). George Patterson Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your slightly older self. |

That leaves satellite, which has it's own set of problems (including the cost). Verizon DSL just dropped their ~760 KB/sec download speed to $14.95/month. For those dial-up customers, including the fake MW out of the Virginia/DC metro area, who live in a DSL-served area, there is now no excuse to remain with dial up. Verizon FiOS (fiber optic broadband, to which I just started subscribing) is being rolled out nationwide. When it is complete, expect to see cable broadband come down to remain competitive, since they really cannot raise download speeds tremendously to compete. There was also a rumor that Verizon FiOS will offer a 1 MB/s download speed for $9.99/month to grab local dial-up customers. Yes, I am aware that there are many out in the boonies that will never see cable, DSL, or fiber broadband. My original comments were actually meant as a dig only to the fake MW who thought he was being totally anonymous, but I see that I could have worded it a little better. -- Peter |

I do hope that all those phishing letters I get weekly and
that I immediately report, with full headers [properties-message source] to the appropriate ISP and government agencies at least slow the flow. To those who use bad language and try to insult me, I've got a very thick skin and never take an insult personally. -- Merry Christmas To ALL.
