FADEC = complex

Kev,

If you believe official investigations all the time,


Oh yeah, conspiracy theories are so much better.

I worked in Intelligence and for NSA. I have always said, "Never look
for a conspiracy when it can be explained by sheer stupidity or
bureacracy."

But in this case, it's obvious that France was not about to let Airbus
get blamed. Not much different from blaming the co-pilot for ripping
off that Airbus rudder.

This gets better and better!:
Was that in the "embedded" period - or still rebuilding car engines?

Was that an NSA simulator?

*laughing* Yeah, it's interesting isn't it? There's not much I
haven't done in 50+ years. I used to say that I"ve been a tinker,
tailor, soldier, spy. All are true. I worked as a mechanic and body
repairer/painter. I've faced down a white tiger alone in the Korean
DMZ, got shot at, rewrote tactical Intelligence gathering procedures,
and worked with the most secret NSA equipment. I was promoted for
making a secret project succeed that stopped the Soviets in a certain
region. My first computer, I designed and handbuilt in 1979 from chips
and wires. It had 4K and I wrote 3D rotation and voice analysis
programs on it in assembly language. I was a sysop on CompuServe back
in the early days when it cost $1,000 a month to support 16kbps
uploads. Later I wrote a book on an embedded operating system that's
used in satellites and military apps, and gave seminars that were
infamous for their attendance. I've written many types of realtime
drivers and applications. I designed and programmed electronic casino
equipment that many of you probably have wasted money on. I was head
of one of the first labs designing settop boxes. For the past 13
years, I've had a quarter mill yearly income as one of the top embedded
systems designers. Many of the friends I grew up with are high
officials and state attorneys in NC. I've also watched the Exorcist
about 150 times and it just gets funnier each time I see it! (oops,
sorry, that was Betelguese ;-)

Last Christmas I was diagnosed with a vicious cancer and given four
months to live. Much chemo, rad and a rather brutal operation that
removed my esophagus later, I'm still around.

In any case, yes sir, I have a little experience here and there, and I
really don't like people who attack others.

The belligerence here is completely atypical for this group.
It is the direct result of an injurious and defamatory attitude championed
by your protege and yourself.

It is also atypical to blow one's own horn here. There are quite a few
contributors here (fewer now, as they are being driven away) of
significant accomplishment - often in fields of endeavor related to the
purported topic of discussion (aviation). It could just be that you would
defend Mxsmanic less vociferously if you were to take full measure of the
number and quality of people he has insulted here.

I am sorry for your illness, but this is not related to the topic. I doubt
your sincerity in any desire for constructive discourse, while your
protege has clearly demonstrated a disingenuous desire to disrupt and
destroy, taking vicarious pleasure in watching the whole group
unravel.When there's nothing left (very soon), he will move to another
group and suck the life out of it. Will you follow him there?

He's not my protege. He simply sounds like a older man with really
poor discussion skills. But injurious? No, don't think so.

My (and others') point has always been, that we haven't seem him
directly insult anyone. He's argued, yes, but never attacked anyone
as others have attacked him. Worse, the ones who attack him (and it's
always the same group) also attack anyone who dares question those kind
of gang tactics.

The only problem I see with his postings is with those who feel the
need to constantly post negative responses. Since he obviously doesn't
let that affect him, then all they're doing is clogging up the
newsgroup for others. Shut up, let him and others post, and we'd be
in much better shape. It was actually going pretty well there for a
few weeks until the gang spoke up again.

In other words, I think Jim in NC is taking the really wrong road.
It's just going to make pilots look worse and worse.

You are deeply mistaken.
You say there is a gang mentality here, but that simply is not the case. We
disagree amongst ourselves all the time, but no one ever gets ganged up on.
Anyone, pilot or no, can come here with a question - even a trivial, "stupid"
question, and will receive qualified, carefully prepared responses from career
level aviation professionals and experienced amateurs - I think that's pretty
good for starters. When the same person then turns around and says they don't
know what they're talking about, claims himself to be the only expert, takes on
the whole group, even when everyone says he is wrong, says they fly tin cans
and toys - I call that insulting.

I cannot give him the benefit of the doubt about someone with poor discussion
skills. I believe his presence here is a deliberate and vicarious
destabilization effort, and he is very close to a complete victory. This is not
so exceptional - there are plenty of usenet groups that have been hijacked
and wrecked by destructive individuals. I don't want to see that happen here,
and there are some others who share the concern, which is why we are fighting
to try to see it through.

Those who value this resource, and who are trying to defend it are probably
quite impefect in their methods, I admit. It certainly is leading to a lot of
bad blood that most here would probably prefer to avoid - but just "shut up"
and let him have the group? I don't think so - not yet. That will happen soon
enough, but we will call it "jumping ship" and we will refer to r.a.p. in the
past tense - a group that was destroyed through a hostile takeover.

To whom? To Mxmanic? He already has complete disdain for pilots. Perhaps
showing him that we're a craggier, more tenacious target than he had imagined
would not be so bad for our image . . .
