How many instruments can I use for VFR?

Either he's a outright troll, or the most unappreciative and obnoxious
person I've ever come across on Usenet :-))

To be fair, a quick Google Groups search indicates that he has thanked
several posters for answering his questions:

Also note that mxsmanic was posting to the rec.aviation.* groups at least as
far back as 2002, though using a different e-mail address but the same
handle.

I also noted the following from Google Groups:

From June 1998 to June 2005, he appears to have posted over 58,000 messages
across 443 newsgroups under a hotmail.com account.
From June 2005 to present, he appears to have posted over 12,000 messages
across 114 newsgroups under his current account.
(That's appears to be an average of 20 to 25 posts a day.)

He therefore should not be considered a neophyte poster. I also stumbled
across e-mail from him to at least one IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
mailing list. His opinionated postings there did not appear to be always well
received.
