OK Jim, you're on : )

I've tried the rational approach with that guy, (it failed miserably)
so in the interest of raising the signal-to-noise ratio in this forum
I'm officially mute..


I tried logical, harassment, and frequent posts asking individuals to not
reply (and you would think I was denying them of their constitutional
rights, or something), and blocking everyone who ever posted to him, and
blocking him.

Not a thing has made a difference, it seems.

Let's all urge everyone to be mute, like you, (thanks) no mater the need to
respond, and perhaps we can have a "non-contaminated" group by the new year.

I must be dreaming, though. g Some have no self control. :-(

I hope that everyone makes a new year's resolution, like, "I will not
make
ANY kind of response to mxmanic, at all, this year"

I try to do the same; but every now-and-then, the Devil taps me on the
shoulder and whispers: "Psst, hey, Pete, ... ".

I'll try harder--that's one of my New Year's resolutions.

5 Hours ATL to SAT, boy that was a slow old turboprop.

Not being IFR rated (or having an IFR capable airplane), Kelly and I took
a people tube from Atlanta to San Antonio on Thursday and flew back on
Christmas Day. We usually take commercial flights when we absolutely have
to be somewhere. You really can't count on getting anywhere VFR,
particularly this time of year.

Anyway, now I'm sick as a dog. Massive sinus infection. Which I suspect
was due to being stuffed into a 10' diameter tube for about 5 hours with a
bunch of people, quite a few who were visibly under the weather.

It seems like I catch a cold/sinus/whatever kind of thing about 1/3 of the
time I fly commercial. That simply doesn't happen when we take my
airplane.

So here I sit, grumpy on the couch.

Um, no, it was an MD-88. Which takes about 5 hours (counting ramp time) to
make an out and back from Atlanta to San Antonio and return.
