Then why do you continue to read and post here?


There are some real and competent pilots here, even if the kiddies drown them
out sometimes.

Your problem is that you don't fly.


That isn't the problem that you make it out to be. Flying is not magic.

Actual pilots here--nearly all of
them--keep telling you that you have no idea what you're talking about,
and you still can't catch the clue.


Actual pilots here have made some glaring errors that have considerably
diminished my opinion of private pilots.


LOL! Yet, you can't differentiate between the private pilots, commercial
pilots, CFIs and ATP.

They don't seem to be nearly as qualified


You are not authoritative on who is qualified. The difference between
you is that they can and have flown planes.

Yes, I can, since their qualifications are a matter of public record.
Additionally, the more experience they have, the more likely they are to know
something about the topic, unless they are part of that accident-prone
minority that has just been lucky so far.

It's easy enough to check what they say, and when they are wrong, it does not
inspire confidence in their qualifications.

I participate in a lot of aviation discussions outside this newsgroup, but
this venue probably has the highest percentage of unqualified, blowhard
wannabes.

Getting out of your bedroom and walking to the local airfield to go
for a fly will immensely increase your fitness, your knowledge and
your self esteem.


But if I did that, what excuse would the boys' club here use to
dismiss my postings then?



They wouldn;t have one. And the word is "reason" not "excuse"

If you had any knowledge or at least the desire to gain knowledge maybe
we wouldn't.

Neither is relevant in the "logic" of the treehouse club.

Funny that where ever you post there seems to be a "treehouse club"
that thinks you are a twit.
