I'm glad for your amusement, but do you think your amusement is
worth
the dismantling of one of the (previously) most useful forums on
aviation, by aviators?

If you think that it is worth it, then you have too high of a
value
placed on your own entertainment.

Ignoring him is not sufficient. His departure is the only thing
that
is sufficient.

I took a 12 month vacation from RAP. He still didn't leave. When I
came back most of the posts I saw were MX, followed by bertie,
followed by Max, followed by bertie - max - bertie - max - - - - -

I'm trying to figure out how to set up my own nntp server, with my
own
rules. Once I've got it up and running the way I want, I'll
publish
the address.

Here's a preview:

You'll never see a post by MX, Bertie, or Max, nor will you ever
see
a
response to them.
You'll also never see a post by a spammer, unless a known poster
decides to spam, or if I decide it's not really spam.


Snort.

Like that'd stop me.

This is interesting. Is the OP in question saying that they have the
skills to fly a plane but *lack* the skills to configure a kilfile?
If so, this is indeed troubling news and would provide a clue as to
*why*
our skys are so unsafe today.


You're joking, of course, but in fact, you've hit the nail right on
the
head.
Don't know about the OP, but a startling number of pilots today are
spoon fed idiots who need a Nintendo DS in front of them to do the
simplest flights...


They fly with the computer and not so much with the stick eh?
THey should watch 'Space Cowboys' some time. Tommy Lee Jones does a
nice
job of landing the "flying brick" with a stick and no computer.


Mm, not so much that as flying with the compute and not their heads!


I always thot you had to fly by "the seat of your pants".
What if your pants dont fit?
