Will you complainers please just killfile him, and stop wasting
everyone else's time with your useles responses? At least his
postings are on topic and inoffensive in comparison.

I'm sure that, when in person and not hidden behind a fake name, you're
actually a friendly fellow and wouldn't act such.

Thanks.

Actually I'm going to France next summer- perhaps I should look him up and
give him a stack of old charts and books. Besides, I've never seen a real
live troll before.


But that would be "feeding the troll"

Jay, are you ready to admit defeat, and cut MX loose, yet?

I'm just wondering. I think you might be a pretty good barometer of the others
in the group that are still answering his questions.


Well, Jim, I find MX much less aggravating then some of the regular
posters here. Even when he disagrees, at least he keeps a civil tongue
in his head, which is more than I can say for many of the "real" pilots
who grace this group with their presence.

I don't pretend to understand why some of you guys get so worked up
about his questions -- there's nothing wrong with asking about VFR
position reporting. I'll bet there are 400 pilot wannabee lurkers who
read his posts with relish, glad that he's got the balls to ask the
"stupid questions" that no one else will ask, for fear of getting
verbally castrated.

I see. You and many others don't mind his arguing, or his seemingly inability
to look up the simplest questions, or to read a book. That says nothing about
his probable diagnosable psychoses of a few different types, and thinking he is
actually traveling by simulator.

Oh well. Different strokes, and all that.

Myself, I don't understand your view of him, as much as you don't understand my
(and other's) annoyance.

Back to some serious semi-lurking. I just can't waste my time with responses to
him, from other people.

Yes, just as you surely realize that making position reports aids S&R
if you should happen to go down for any reason (if you have not
requested flight following from ATC). You do make position reports
when flying over long distances, don't you?


Nope, never have. Closest I've come is activating flight plans.
