Exactly.

I think the way everyone treats him is by far the most visible
indicator as to why younger people get turned off to aviation.

The way you treat him (and others here I've seen), it makes me think
you all *want* aviation to be a super exclusive club. I guess you're
getting what you wanted...

Notice, if you will (can?) that those who ask questions and seek to learn
from those with vast years and hours of ACTUAL flying experience get very
nice treatment.

MX, on the other hand, is a character with severe mental issues, who has
been laughed off numerous other newsgroups. He's nothing more than a vandal
with a keyboard, rather than a can of spray paint.

I'd venture to guess it's advantageous that we don't have such a mental
misfit dashing around in the same skies as the rest of us.

I'd guess that you're just as FOS as he is.

The fewer you become, the less infrastructure you'll have. Eventually there
won't be enough to support your exclusie hobby. So be careful what you wish
for.

You do realize MX is in his 40's don't you?

I don't think this Jones guy realizes anything more than MX does.
