A Google Groups alternative to rec.aviation.piloting?

which advertises his homosexuality is hardly
someone I'd wanna be in cockpit with.

Here again, you're making an ad hominem argument. You're talking about the
person, not the topic at hand.

Additionally, "Buttman" could mean all sorts of things, and isn't necessarily
an indication of homosexuality.

And furthermore, not everyone considers adumbration of homosexuality
pejorative, so your thinly veiled insult might well be without effect.

I ain't adding homo's to anything, "buttman"
already did that!!!.

Wish you wouldn't have used the phrase "topic at hand",
it's your gooey keyboard.

Care to elaborate?

Well you're the one calling homo's dumb.

Seriously now: Recently we've been writing software
for a lunar mission, and after doing a lunar parking
orbit I/we had problems doing a manual softlanding
within fuel specs, so I installed an algorthm that
AutoLands using about 2 lines of code. There's a
thrill in landing but even more of a thrill seeing the
commands automatically executed, that I designed,
especially since it was so dang simple.
I could explain it if any of you guys want.

Were super excited about Project Constellation so
we're boneing up on details.

Buttman could refer to someone who enjoys looking at women's buttocks, which
is a highly heterosexual behavior for a man.

I haven't called homosexuals anything.

Are you speakin' from experience or is that statement
a result of a sim?

So you call them nothing.

Compared to playing golf, or owning a 1/2 assed boat,
flying is still a cheap hobby. What a $100/hr gets you
a rental with a CFI, of course if you "Mx" is an invalid,
then that's different...are you?

Neither, it's simply logic.

Right.

I don't understand the question.
