Windmilling and electrical power

Why on the ground one way or another? A prop single can fly all day with a
dead battery and alternator.

Not if the engine isn't running. If the propeller is windmilling, presumably
the engine is dead.

Don't fall for this. MS is impersonating himself -- what a wonderful
scam!

The fakes are easy to spot. They include this line from the dizom
anonymous remailer:

Mail-To-News-Contact:

To get rid of them, you need to contact dizum and tell them your email
is being misused:

"Dizum FAQ [13] Q: What is your policy on forgery?

"A: We have a policy against a user of Dizum making posts in a way
that uses the email address of another user on Usenet or the Internet,
in an attempt to deceive readers of the true identity of the poster,
without that email address owner's permission. In addition, if you are
the victim or witness to a forgery, you may want to contact the
appropriate law enforcement agency so they may then contact us and
follow-up as they feel appropriate. If you feel that your email
address is being forged and you do not want to make use of the Dizum
mail2news gateway nor the Dizum remailer we can add that address to
the blockfile. This will disable any postings with that from line. "

Hmm ... now who here would know about anonymous remailers?

Where is your public key? It's not on the standard servers.

Gee. I hope they don't verify that the address is really mine.
That wouldn't work too well.

It's easy to forge a sending address, but it's impossible to
simulate intelligence, so I do have that working in my favor.

I've posted it a couple of times, here.
Check the dashes at the beginning and end of the block. Sometimes (don't
know why) it goes through with a dash & space added (- -----) when it should be
(-----). Just delete the dash & space before adding it to your ring.
Then, of course, check it against a previous post to verify that it came
from me.

Well, actually I was hoping for a separate source for the key. A public key
posted in a USENET post isn't very useful for verifying a USENET post, since
it's not an out-of-band source.

In my case, my public key is on my Web site, so anyone can download it and at
least be sure that whoever signs my USENET messages also controls my domain
and Web server, which is a pretty good indication that I am who I claim to be.

I think my public key is also on a couple of servers, but I'm not sure (the
servers themselves don't always strike me as very stable).

It's always a good idea to put a PGP sig on your posts. Headers can
be forged. But if someone is duplicating a PGP sig.......They're probably
NSA.

Signing things that don't need to be signed is an unnecessary security risk.

I had someone try to impersonate me on another group about 6 months
ago. The idiot copied my PGP sig from another post I made. When I
exposed the fraud, someone else verified that the sig was corrupt and
that the post was a forgery. Once you put your sig on something, every
word, sentence, space, and comma is set in stone and tied to you, alone.

Yup.

Did you file a complaint with Dizum M2N, yet?

No. I'm not convinced that it's that big a deal. People who are smart enough
to care about whether or not it's really me are also smart enough to spot
impersonations--just the style of writing alone gives it away. And those who
aren't smart enough don't matter.
