Irony isn't your strongest point is it

Well, it's good to know there are armchair experts like MX out here, who've
never actually flown or built a plane, to decide who's clueless and who
isn't. In spite of the fact that literally anybody who even bothers to
respond to him tells him he's totally clueless.

But what do we all know? We're just pilots.

Well, I could pull out my Mensa card, but of course that doesn't show
anything, does it?

Mxsmanic has a Densa card.
He's densa than any other poster.
Or, as one person might have put it.
He hasn't an IQ more a viscosity rating

But what do we all know? We're just pilots.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the pixelated skies on digitally-rendered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split digits and simulated a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - installed and booted and simmed
High in the bedroom silence, sitting there
I've chased the shouting frame-rates along, and flung
my eager floppy disks from my Frito-covered chair
download, download the long delirous hacks and mods
I've programmed Function Keys with easy grace
What no real pilots ever do
And, while with unsilent addled mind I've trod
the high untresspassed similuated sanctity of MSFSX
Released my joystick and touched the display on my monitor.

sniff That was beautiful...in an really creepy way....

Ya know, there's this South Park episode that it reminds me of....the one
where they get all fat and disgusting because of a computer game......

If it is, then it isn't from you.

Given what many Mensa members are like, it is perhaps best not to show the
card. The organization is famous for attracting intelligent but socially
dysfunctional individuals. About 120 million people worldwide qualify for
Mensa, but only 70,000 have joined, and they are a self-selected group that is
not representative of intelligent people as a whole.

No, you read the post of someone who knows a lot of people in Mensa. While
there are some well-adjusted people in the club, many of them are exceedingly
strange, much more so than other people with similar levels of intelligence.
The club attracts people who have nothing else going for them besides a high
IQ. Unfortunately, as a group they create the impression that intelligent
people are social misfits and eccentrics, when nothing could be further from
the case.

Strange being a relative term, the mind boggles.
