Hey. I'll buy you a beer if you can find out who Bertie is. I wanna
pummel him.

As annoying as he can be sometimes, at least he is a pilot and at least has
something useful to contribute to RAP now and then. John Johnson is nothing
more than the usenet equivalent of a streetcorner kook.

How do you know he's a pilot? I can't recall any useful contribution from
him, I can't even recall him ever being correct.

I don't know that anyone here is a pilot, but there are at least a couple
I'm quite sure aren't. JJ easily fits into that category.

You GOTTA be kidding.

He single-handedly has managed to bring so many kooks into RAH, that the
group is now next to useless. Any contributions he has made have been
negated, and then some, like to the factor of ten.

I have a feeling there are more than a few pilots that would gladly join in
pummeling him, if they only knew who he was.

So Mike, how does it feel to support a loser?

Hey, are you just another one of Bernie's socks? Sure sounds like you are,
or otherwise, you are just exTREEMly stoopid.

Sounds like you don't know your arse from a crack. You get wrapped around
the axle over someone like Bertie to the point your eyes turn red and you
want to get violent, and then you have the nerve to accuse someone else of
stupidity. Grow up. The only reason Bertie hangs around is to pull the
chain of people just like you. You attract him and his kind more than you
can ever imagine. So if you're looking for someone to blame, blame
yourself.

To be precise, it's a factor of 10.08 according GAUCHE (Generally
Accepted Usenet Contributions Heuristic Equation) computations. According
to the values at this site at the time I computed the value:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...ng/about?hl=en
I see 218 postings this month by Bertie under the .aa.aa domain and
another 34 posted under the ld.you domain. Using the as
the base-line for "average" poster who posted 25 at the time of the
check, I get:

(218+34)/25 = 10.08

I have a feeling there are more than a few pilots that would gladly
join in pummeling him, if they only knew who he was.

Always interesting to see inadvertent self referential admonishments.
Never sure what to do with these observations other than point them out.
Maybe it's the coffee you're drinking.

The only reason Bertie hangs
around is to pull the chain of people just like you.

Pulling chains is not the "usenet equivalent of a streetcorner kook?" How
about the "usenet equivalent of a streetcorner ass?" Just trying to sort
out the best fitting simile.

You attract him and his kind more than you can ever imagine.

I didn't know Morgans was on Bertie's "lits o' hate". Let me check my
recollection: Mxsmanic, Maxwell et al, Jay Honeck, ... alas, no joy, er,
Morgans.

Let me check Dudley's "lits o' annoyance": Morgans, ... ah, there it is
right near the top.

You sure you got the right lists?

So if you're looking for someone to blame, blame yourself.

Hey - you could investigate this Jim Morgans in NC, figure out his real
name and location and then announce it to the world. That'd show him!

Yep. If "Mike" knew anything, he would know that I have answered no posts
to bertie in a pretty long time. He isn't worth it, and is _only_ worth
ignoring.

What does burn my ass is someone that thinks he isn't such a bad guy.
Please!!!

No, but perhaps this will be enough to get me there.

right near the top.

Yep. Dudley has his bad days, and I was there for his. I've been there
before, and was once removed from the list. Now, frankly, I don't care. He
also sees things much like Mike on subjects like Bertie, and another which
will go nameless, (that unspoken, unreplied approach _has_ been used with
great success for past characters - but some will never agree to using
restraint in this case) which I will never understand; to see how any
reasonable person can see things from that point of view.

I could care less, other than the obvious lack of netiquette shown by an
action such as that. I have never kept it a secret, 'cause I have nothing
to hide.

Normally, Mike does not get any reaction from me, because my level of
respect for him has already fallen about as low as it can go.

But really, Bertie's not so bad? Hmmmmmmmm.

Jim I'm not going to praise Bertie whatsoever, but I have
noticed with all the Bertie bashing that has taken place, he
(or she) has started to contribute actual information more and more.
Weather it's from peer pressure or just tired of swallowing his
own crap, he is contributing, however after reading this I'll bet he
reverts. If you really want to know his name, ask Jay M.

Bertie has always contributed somewhat, but no more the many, many others.

But no matter what he has or will contribute, he can never repay what he has
taken. Even if we got lucky and the ******* vanished today, it would take
this group years to regain the expertise we have lost, and rid ourselves of
the sock puppets he has encouraged to join the group.

Bertie and anyone that socks him, or encourages him, is nothing more than
vermin.

Bertie answers queries like the one about the airliner that landed
short because of fuel starvation.

From the depth of the answers he's at home with the theory and
practice of 'heavies'

From my knowledge of him he treats the curious well answering their
questions.

He, however does not suffer fools gladly, a trait that on newsgroups
is an admirable thing.
