One of the worst things about new pilots is that they
don't have enough confidence in the skills that they actually DO have.

IMO, being humble about one's piloting skills is not a detriment. Having
too much confidence in the skills one doesn't have is arguably much worse.

You're reading things into my post that I didn't write. I'm not talking
about being humble. I'm talking about being needlessly paranoid.

Likewise, I'm not talking about being OVER-confident. I'm talking about
having an appropriate and correct assessment of one's own skills.

Oh? When you typed "don't have enough confidence" you meant "needlessly
paranoid?" Ok, I'll take your word for it now that you explained it.

You have to admit that there was some wiggle room there.

Yes, I consider not having enough confidence the exact same thing as being
needlessly paranoid. What is so difficult about that for you to agree with?

Furthermore, you forgot to quote the other part of that sentence: "in the
skills that they actually DO have". In other words, I'm simply talking
about an accurate evaluation of their ACTUAL abilities, not the
overconfidence you describe.

I have to admit no such thing.

Your cantankerous persona in these aviation groups has become quite
tiresome.

Really? Do tell. Your insistence on misinterpreting other people's posts,
and then writing fallacious "corrections" to those posts isn't?

Okay then.

Your argumentative, humorless posting history over the last three years of
my participation in these aviation groups is *so much* more pronounced than
I could ever hope to achieve.

Back in 2002 when I was a student pilot, I enjoyed reading your posts, as
they contained much relevant aviation content and tempered discussion.
However, these days the majority of your posts demonstrates nothing more
than a persona in constant need of one-upping all others.

I'll certainly concede that you do appear to know aviation and you seem
quite intelligent, but your humorless and combative presentation has
increased to the point where I certainly have grown tired of wading through
your thorns to find the fruit.

I see nothing in my first few posts in this thread that even closely
represents your remark. But, call it as you do. That is your aviation
newsgroup persona and it has become predictable and boring.
