VFR position reporting

Shrug There are a lot of people that seem to be involved in aviation
simulation. There's even this "network" of them where some play pilot
while others play controller. They actually do talk to one another.

Most of them are harmless. Some are going to become pilots; others will
remain forever pretenders.

And many of them are already pilots. Simulation is dramatically
cheaper and simpler than actual flight, and most pilots can afford to
fly only a few hours per month (or year), unless they do it for a
living.

You are right there are many real pilots that use sim and that inhabit the
flight sim newsgroups. Why don't you head back over there and leave us
alone?

Why do you waste so much time on personal attacks if you dislike me?
Why not just killfile me and be done with it? I'm refractory to
personal attacks, so they will never have any effect on me.

I'm puzzled by people who claim to hate me and yet waste hundreds or
thousands of posts on tirades against me. What's the _real_
motivation for this?

I don't hate you. I don't even know you. I can't kill file all the responses
to your posts. If you would just stop arguing with everybody that answers
your questions I wouldn't have a problem. If you don't like or believe an
answer let those that do know something about the subject respond and trust
me they will if it is even a little wrong.

The way this and any forum like it should work is person A who doesn't have
information asks a question and then persons B, who knows the answer,
responds. A can then ask a follow-up question if needed. If person B was
wrong then C, D and E will chime in and get to the correct answer.

But when you ask a question then turn around and argue with damn near
everybody that answers you blow the signal to noise ratio all to hell. And
don't get me wrong. You have asked some good questions it is the way your
respond that ****es me and many others off.

Finally, there is a reason that there are thousands of newsgroups. Each
newsgroup is for a particular subject and continually remind us that you
have no interest in aviation just in flight sims.

I provide signal, not noise. I have no control over what others
provide.

Only your original questions could be considered signal. Your uninformed
responses to answers are 100% noise.
