Good GAWD...I show 275 posts (and that starts with a RE for what
should have taken a single paragraph, or two with expansion on the
reason.

I know. he (that needs not be mentioned by name) is a plague descending
upon us.

I wonder how many worthwhile members have left us, now. I don't see many
of the regulars around here, lately.

In my opinion this character is perhaps one of the best if not THE best I've
ever encountered on Usenet. He or she or whatever it is has redefined the

Absolutely!

definition of trolling as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely all the
parameters have been met and in most cases exceeded; the gauntlet has been
picked up by some; totally ignored by others; gambits have been accepted and
carried to extreme ends by those engaging; the group has been effectively
split from within; an absolute must to define the success of the effort.
I'm actually quite satisfied with my early decision made when he/she engaged
me on another forum not engage this person. Its been interesting watching
him/her work this and other groups at the same time. In fact, its been one
of the best experiences I've encountered since entering Usenet many years
ago.

I find that I still feel compelled to respond to some posts rather
than the poster to prevent some misconceptions from spreading. :-))
Like Roger More's films, they contain just enough truth at times to
make the rest sound believable.

I love to watch someone work who really knows what they are doing, and this
character has been fun to watch.

I believe now that some in the groups are finally catching on to what's been
happening and joining those of us who have chosen simply to ignore the whole
thing. Those arguing among themselves about him/her/it/whatever, have in my
opinion simply been fodder for the cannon.
:-))
VERY interesting........and it has been VERY entertaining!!!!

I haven't seen you on the "other group" lately although there's not
much going on. Lots of posts on the new app, but not a lot else.

Hi Rog;

I'm back posting again there now that the Beta process is over.
Actually, I've just become an MVP for Microsoft on Flight Simulator and will
be working even more closely with both them and the add on developers
working with the program.

Congratulations Dudley.

Now I know where I can send the bill when I have to upgrade all my
hardware so I can run it:-))

Oh, if it'd only run on LINUX.

Thanks. I'm sitting on an order now for either Hypersonic or Falcon NW for a
whole new system waiting for Nvidia's new DirectX 10 GPU to come on line.
Bea is going to kill me!
:-))))

Its been interesting watching the program progress over time, and its
amazing how knowledgeable some of the end users become after using the
program. You wouldn't believe the knowledge level of some of the simmers. I
helped someone just last week who had a pretty good handle on how to fly a
DME arc. He just needed one little piece of data to complete his "puzzle".
He was eleven years old :-))
There will be some "growing pains" with this new version while the hardware
and drivers upgrade into it but from what I've seen so far working with it,
the potential is unbelievable.

Hell, it won't even run on Win2K...

How about we all put a boilerplate statement in our signature files, and just
tack that on every time a need to respond to false, misleading, (or whatever)
questions and statements?

Something like;

************************************************** **
Boilerplate response to follow:
Do not believe the questions or statements posted by Mxsmanic necessarily have
any relevance or truth to "real" aviation. They are posted from a simulation
_game_ player, and are posed mainly for trolling purposes.
************************************************** **
That way, you get to respond, people are alerted to the danger of believing in
anything he posts, and he does not get the satisfaction of a continuing
argument. Win, win, win.

Does that work for you? If you like the idea, but not my quickly composed
response, feel free to change it or write your own, and I might use yours, too.

Here's what I've finally decided to do: I'm now filtering via NewsProxy any
post in rec.aviation.piloting that's also crossposted in rec.aviation.students.
I figure that will rid me of Numbnuts and all of his threads. That will remove
me from the temptation of answering him, flaming him, or arguing with legitimate
pilots about him. I have chosen to flush him down with the rest of the turds.
Enough time has been wasted. And I'm tired of being accused of trolling myself
just because I want to get rid of him. Now I am... rid of him.

To those of you who aren't bright enough to recognize you can't shine a turd no
matter how much you wipe, have a nice day.

Hopefully my next post in either newsgroup will be directly on topic. I hope
there are folks who have enough energy left to participate in a thread not
originated by Numbnuts, because I expect my traffic to drop off a good 95%.
That's the effect he's had in the newsgroups whether anybody recognizes it or
not.

You might want to look up at the top of the page the next time you're tempted to
answer him and check whether you're answering to just one newsgroup.

Jim, obviously none of this applies to you, except the crosspost check. That
applies to everyone. And of course this message, which is being intentionally
crossposted. *I* won't see it, but others will.

Single posted.

I use Outlook Express and just blocked the maniacs posts as
originals. I still see re, so if there is something I feel
like saying, I can.
