Can you answer these questions?

Humor appreciated, but at the same time, isn't the purpose of these forums
to help each other understand what we don't currently understand? A new
student pilot with no aviation background won't know that these aren't
"good" questions or that they aren't giving us enough information.

I work in the computer networking field and *CONSTANTLY* get questions from
business clients like "My computer at home keeps running out of memory, can
I put the 80 GB hard drive I saw at walmart in it?".......well, there are
about 15 areas of concern that I could come back and completely destroy the
person on in that one sentence. But, why? They don't know. They only know
that they are having a problem and are smart enough to ask for help.

Sorry, if we've offended you with our ignorance in the past. Let's talk
about RIP/RIP2 and IP routing sometime.

(1) I gotta buy a flight bag. Which one should I buy?

(2) What should I keep in that flight bag?

(3) Which flash light should I buy for night flight?

(4) My wife needs a headset. Given that you do not know her or for that
matter, haven't seen her, Can you tell me which headset should I buy
for her?

(5) I just soloed, which sunglasses do I need?

(6) I got to buy a plane this month to get a huge tax break. Which one?
Oh! and in another thread, I have posted a question about whether to
save a few bucks on a transceiver by not getting the nav feature.

(7) I am a enter profession here. I like flying, can you tell me if I
should become a professional pilot?

/satire

p.s.:

[instrcutor to student on a night flight]: In case you have an engine
failure at night and you are going down for an off-airport landing,
remember to turn the landing light on so you see where you are going to
crash.

[student]: What if I don't like what I see?
[instructor]: Turn the light off.

I just tell people they need to download some more memory off the internet.

They could try www.downloadfreememoryhere.com

If they are all out of memory at that site, I offer to email them some.

I tried to download that memory. Bad link. Can you please check the link
and post the right one for downloading memory. I'd like about 1 Gig. And I
need it by tomorrow, so I can save a large amount of data to my hard drive.

Thanks!

That link may have a broken sparkalator or fluxmotometer. Try it again later
and if it doesn't work I'll see if I have any extra lying around here I can
email you.

Jeff,

My post was made tongue-in-cheek. I ruined the satire by marking it
"satire" for the humour impaired, still no luck...

See Satire in dictionary:

Sati n. 1.a. ... work that attacks human folly through irony,
derision, or wit.

FWIW, I have made my share of silly posts and silly questions in this
forum and learned from the replies.

And I accept your offer to talk about IP routing any time. you will
find that I have worked in the networking field for 13 years and have
learned a bit.

The humor wasn't lost on me...as stated at the beginning of my post. I got
snickered at your post as much as anyone. It just seems that there has been
a string of "oh my god, not another question about...." type posts in here
over the last several months. My point was that if we constantly run off
the "newbies" by making them feel like they can't ask "dumb" questions or
that they can't share a joke they recently heard (nevermind that the joke is
older than most of the planes we rent), then this NG & forum will die.
I've monitored this NG for several years now. I tend to post a couple of
times a week on subjects of interest to me and try to help when I can. I
don't want to see this become a stagnant group. New blood is always a good
thing.

I apologize for the directed attack....you were just the proverbial "straw".

As for the IP routing....I hope you understood my point in that we ALL have
expertise in areas that others don't. But the last thing I want to do when I
come home from work is talk about is subnetting and RIP
