Every pilot should consider ALL data with skepticism -- whether it's
from FSS, Center, XM, or StormScope.

I don't think Jay was advocating this at all. What he was advocating was
adding it to the VFR pilot's toolkit, and I see nothing at all wrong with
that.

Whatever.

Jay's entire being is resistant to common sense. I see guys like him all
the time, expecting radio shack to give them a short cut around actually
developing some sort of craftlike approach to flying. I feel like
smacking them much as one wants to give an 11 year old with a cigarette
behind his ear a smack on the back of the head.

He can't be boring -- he works for DARPA, has "200 hours in the left
seat", is a GSA contractor, was a LRRP, earned the Ranger Tab, and a
host of other things he heard about.

He's a legend in his own demented universe.

Let him be. He's entertaining in the flaming wreck sort of way.

Oh I only improve k00ks. I'm largely misunderstood. I'm often criticised
as not being entertaining enough in my own right. That's not my job. My
job is to help the k00k shine. It's all about the k00k. For instance.
I've got Matt and Maxwell gurgling like a pair of parched mudpuppies.
It's what makes it all worthwhile.

BTW, I can never tell those two apart. It's partly the "Ma" at the
beginning of their names and partly the fact that they both have similar
styles and similarly inane ideas on just about everything.

Then I'll leave him in your very capable hands.

Have fun!

Jay, you need some remedial weather analysis and flight planning
training. I've never had XM weather (OK, one flight with a friend with
a 496) and get along fine without it.

I'm glad for that, Matt -- but this is not the conclusion Mary and I
have made.

BTW: Your point about using XM for preflight analysis isn't relevant,
since no one uses it for that. The strength of having live weather on
board is for in-flight decision making, not pre-flight briefings.

I was simply going by your statement above "Before we had it, we would
have stayed in Pensacola." That sounds like using it for preflight
planning to me. :-)

I'm not greedy. Plenty of Matt to go around. He's just boosted his k00k
standing considerably with that amazon link. Promising.

I agree with this poast, thereboy demon-strating the skizo nature of my

Just like everything else in your head.

Dammit, Maxwell, I appreciate you're going to bat for me -- but will
you quit responding to this Bertie dude?

Trolls are there only raise the hackles on you back. Kill files are
the perfect solution, and many of us wouldn't even know that this twit
was still in the group EXCEPT for the fact that his drivel is visible
*inside* your responses.

I know it's tempting to take a swing at such an easy target, but try
sitting on you hands whenever you see his kind of twitter. We'll all
be better off.



Boy was I right about you.

Oh come on now. Are you not the Mr. Bawawawawawawa.

A troll from *way* back.
