Leaving Usnet Groups, Bye

And you don't even have the experience to know that the database only
contains
pilots who have current medicals. It doesn't contain former pilots.

I don't know what database you are using, but I suggest you try using
the one the FAA maintains.

http://162.58.35.241/aadatabase/login.asp

It most certainly does contain former pilots - even ones who haven't
flown for decades. There is also no cutoff date and no requirement to
hold a current medical.

What a ****storm this has caused. Truly, it makes me wonder if anyone
here knows how to do an elementary google search.

First off, did any of you actually look at the Alexis Park Inn site?
Did you notice that when people addressed Dudley, they spelled his last
name Henrique, without a terminal s? Google groups search is your
friend. If you go back far enough, you will discover that Dudley
changed the way he spells his name online. He spells it Henriques now,
but the spelling he used a few years ago was Henrique, and the middle
initial was A. Clearly the same person, since the references to the
IFPF remain the same. He appears in the airman database as Dudley
Arthur Henrique. This is a real person who really exists - it's not
rocket science.

What's more, given that he produced all sorts of IFPF documents for
Jay's web site, we can be pretty certain that he is who he says he is,
or at least knew that person well. It's not like those documents, or
copies of them, could be found anywhere. The very obscurity of the
organization proves this. If you wanted to find some documents
traceable to the IFPF, how would you do it? Again, google is your
friend. A search turns up the full name of the organization in
thousands of hits - but every one of them is Dudley's signature (other
than the Alexis Park Inn site). There is not one single hit in any
other context. How would someone who was pretending to be Dudley
unearth these documents? Nobody has copies. The organization is so
obscure that it's not mentioned or linked to by any aviation
organization ANYWHERE on the web. Nobody unconnected with the
organization would have any way of getting his hands on these
documents, originals or copies.

BTW - if you have even basic google skills, you can figure out who I am
with relative ease. Asking one of the many people here who know me is
cheating.

This troll (the tube, not the OP) is simply going for a shock value and
nothing else. Given the continued growth of this thread, it appears
to have worked.

Usenet perpetual motion, this thread has become.

Very astute reasoning, and the name problems persist to this day because
half the world issues us credit cards and store charge cards and drivers
licenses using one spelling, and the financial end of things uses the other.
The name is Henriques; always has been Henriques. I've had to switch it back
and forth all my life to try and compensate for who ever was calling me what
at
what time and for what purpose. Every time we tried changing it to
Henriques and leaving it that way, it would cause problems with our cards so
we finally just gave up
on it and allowed it either way.
Just to give you some idea of how confusing this can be, I can tell you that
I am sitting here now looking at my Commercial and my CFI. My CFI reads
Henrique, and my Commercial plainly reads Henriques.......and THAT'S just
the FAA!!!!! :-)
As for the Fellowship, it was what it was and nothing more; a group of
fine people with a common interest in demonstration flight safety, all
members by special invitation only.

The IFPF never been presented in any other light other than what it
was....an
honor fraternity .
There is however, a close reference with another aviation organization, and
that would be the Combat Pilots Association of the United States. Both our
organizations are long gone, but anyone searching through the CPA official
magazines "Join Up" will find reference there to the Fellowship, and also
reference there to me personally as first the Maryland State Representative,
and then the Eastern Regional Director of CPA. I'm not sure where these
references can be found. I believe I've seen some sources for Join Up on the
web. Perhaps a letter to Steve Ritchie would produce further information, as
Steve was a member of both the Fellowship and served as President of the
Combat Pilots Association.
Organizations like the IFPF and CPA unfortunately come and go in this world
without much fanfare.

There you go... the mystery is solved if your middle name is Arthur. They don't
show the final "s" in the name.

Yep...seems to have solved THAT mystery all right.

Now, the only mystery left for me is how Usenet can be so chuck full of
people who actually spend most of their on line time concerned with "
exposing" someone....or discovering that someone isn't who they appear to
be.....or that someone is lying.....or that THEY have a better answer than
someone else.......or what has come to be for me at least; the ultimate
mystery of Usenet......that being the existence of people out here who
actually will wait patiently for a particular poster they don't like to post
something....ANYTHING......and then check every word...every
statement......every meaning....in the twisted hope that the poster they
don't particularly like very well will make a mistake.....no matter how tiny
a mistake or error...that THEY can jump on immediately to use as "absolute
proof" that the object of their "exposure" is flawed!
Actually, I solved this "mystery" years ago. That's why I no longer treat
Usenet as a serious means of communicating with my fellow pilots. It's just
an odd place on the net to come into from time to time...see my name bandied
about by people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about,
then leave quietly as I came.....either totally disgusted or laughing like
hell at the sheer stupidity that is Usenet :-)

Now I'm left with a mystery. Since you're in there even without a current
medical, why was I left out for so long?

Not sure, but anything even remotely connected with the government can be a
twisted nightmare.
For example, I think the last medical they have listed for me is a class 2
dated in 82. I'm sitting here looking at a class 3 I got dated in 87 where I
was in sort of a "transition period" during my "retirement "from active
flying. That medical isn't on the data base at all. Next, I'm trying to
figure out how both my Commercial and CFI are listed on the base under
Dudley Arthur Henrique when in fact, my CFI in reality says Henriques :-))
I think probably the best thing for EVERYBODY to do is just accept the fact
that it's the FAA (we all know what THAT means :-) and just stop trying to
figure out how they manage to get ANYTHING right!! :-)

Yes, it is. You got it (the class 3) in November of 1987. It's listed if you
look up Dudley Henrique (without the "s"). Somebody else posted a link earlier
that included numbers. I didn't try it so I'm not sure if it's the same one
that I quoted above. I found your medical in the database accessed by the link
in this message.

Not that is screwy. All I can think is: "your tax dollars at work".

Consider yourself lucky if they're actually waiting for you to post
something so they can try to embarass you with it. I've been a regular
in sci.research.careers, and they've got a guy over there who doesn't
even bother waiting for me to post something in order to mis-represent
my views.

It's become more or less expected on these groups by many who post on them.
It's no big deal really, but it takes a lot of the fun out of posting and
eventually runs a lot of fairly well qualified and experienced people off
the groups, or as it has done in my case, turns them into totally hostile
posters.
My Usenet persona has come 180 degrees from when I first arrived on Usenet 6
years ago, especially on this group right here. I used to assume a neutral
or even friendly atmosphere from posters until shown otherwise. I now assume
a totally hostile environment unless I know the poster I'm dealing with (and
there are indeed some very fine people here) or the people posting with me
demonstrate to me that they are not hostile.
