Default I'm not a real Pilot?

An ultralight leaves the ground. A simulator does not.


So does a hot-air balloon, but both would be a waste of time for me.

So personal interaction and development of relationships between people on a
USENET forum doesn't count?


Not really. People who use USENET for that need to get a life.

Some people don't understand society.


Some people think every venue is a treehouse club.

I didn't say it was justified. I just pointed out the obvious reality.


Some people abuse even in the absence of stabs.

One thing that's true about USENET is that it resembles alcohol in that it
causes people to show their true personalities. It turns out that there are a
lot of nasty people in the world, but most of them pretend to be nice in
face-to-face encounters. On USENET, they are less inhibited and one can see
how unpleasant they truly are. It's a bit sad.

How do you know?


I've looked at the requirements.

In your comments. For example this comment:
An ultralight is not an aircraft in my book. A simulator is closer to
the real thing.


What does that have to do with pride? I just don't see anything interesting
about an ultralight. Just being in the air by any means possible does not
interest me. Much of my interest in aviation is in aircraft and procedures,
not just having the wind in my hair.

The two sentences above are contradictory. You hold so much pride that the
opinion and respect of the pilots on this group is beneath you.


No, I just don't care. Trees don't care about opinions or respect, either,
but that doesn't mean that trees are proud.
