In article , "Peter Dohm" wrote: Then, when your research is complete, I have a humble suggestion: When one of Mxsmanic's contributions seems to require a response, flip a coin at least three times and only respond if it comes up tails every time. may I suggestion a response only if it lands on the edge every time? -- Bob Noel Even better, but that's just too much to hope for!

Bertie Australia once spent $4million dollars rescuing a lone sailor in an upturned boat off antarctica. We didnt bill him. ...of course that was when we had a decent government not the clueless ****** labor beancounters we have now. I remember that guy. Thing is, though I would like them to come for me, how many deaths could they have prevented for that much money?

wrote: Shirl writes: Didn't say those were options. They search for missing people whether the spouse approves it or not. Why should she be responsible for the bill? Not her, exactly, but the missing person's estate, but usually money from the estate is money the widow will not receive. The reason is that the state spends more or less on a search depending on how important someone is. The average person is unimportant and the search is short. But celebrities, politicians, millionaires, children, and cute women (to cite a few groups) routinely receive far more attention than others, and this costs the state a lot more. I think the inequality should be reimbursed by the estate, in a country that likes to think of itself as providing equality for all. ************************************** I can see why Bertie has a problem with you.

At that time, the debate At that time, the discussion centered on two issues: 1) whether Mxsmanic was a Troll and 2) whether possible confusion by new pilots and students made it essential to debate him. I now submit that he is, in fact, the most successfull Troll that this group had ever seen. However, there is an interesting twist in that this Troll quite successfully preys upon the senior members of the group, rather than the newbies! there is an interesting aspect to his seeming inability to ever learn. there is a psychiatric condition caused by some faulty wiring in the brain which had at one time the description of alexithymia. it is supposedly faulty connectivity between the corpus calosum and the areas of higher intellect. one aspect of the condition is the physical inability to differentiate between visual images processed from different sources. if one source is reality and another source is a simulator the processing that goes through these brains has no differentiation. both are seen as a real experience. there are days when I'd swear that this kid has the problem. the only solution to this pestilence does not involve coins. coventry is the answer.

I've not heard of this imagery problem -I thought alexithymia was to do with having problems expressing emotions. Have you got a reference I can look it up in? Cheers |

You do realize that he has declared himself to be an expert, in the breast feeding forum, don't you? He goes so far past what a normal person would put up with in person, I don't understand why people here put up with him, and enable him by responding to his idiocy. -- Jim in NC |

And you believe that taxpayers in general should pay the infinitely high bill? Since Nevada has never charged for SAR, even to the very wealthy, if they are going to start charging they really ought to tell people and with something along the lines of, "If SAR experience exceeds $X, the lost individual, their family and or estate will be charged." Perhaps charge on a sliding scale as a percentage of net worth. Net worth to be multiplied by the number of Usenet postings perhaps.... ;-) |
