Your unwillingness to trim a post, and limit your paragraphs to 500 words
doesn't either, dumb ass.




Oh I see. You mean as in the reply below that I made when respectfully
approached on the issue of post trimming for example;

DH wrote
". I'm simply extremely busy and haven't paid as much attention to
proper Usenet protocol as I might have done otherwise. Being busy, I
have a tendency to concentrate more on the content of what I'm saying as
opposed to the protocol on how it's presented.

The answer of course is a compromise. I'm simply reminded to make an
effort toward the more accepted standards concerned with Usenet."

This would appear to read like a reply from me dealing in a much more
positive manner with the trimming of posts than you have deliberately
attempted to convey here :-)

I say again respectfully to you. Engage me and others on flying issues.
On Usenet, this is the ONLY way people who are what you have said thay
are can be properly exposed.
C'mon Max; let's talk flying!!!!!!!!!!! :-))

no no no no. all blood has iron in it. haemoglobin molecules have a

the compass swing when your hand is near it or have magnets
sticking to you. ...well I dont.

Grasshopper blood is copper based.


As are Vulcans.





Grasshoppers are much easier to get a sample from. Mr. Spock keeps
ducking out whenever there's a needle around.




Spock never ducks out. Scotty beams him out.

I don't think geese have a clue as to what they're doing.

But really, does anyone have a theory why that is?


Yes. Again: they don't have a clue!

I swim in a salt-water bay that's popular with the geese both fall and
spring (and summer--they never seem to stop migrating!). I have become
very disillusioned with the instincts of the honkers. They just tack
onto any guy that's flying, it doesn't matter in which direction.

As for the length of the line, it's certain to vary, since stragglers
are picked up at random.

I was out sick that day, or something, so I don't know what the trigger
was
for your attacks on Dudley. Could you fill me in?


No specific trigger Jim, just a lot of accumulated nonsense.

He is totally full of himself. Regardless of what he says, he is not here to
promote friendly discussion of aviation, he is here to promote himself.
Fancies himself as some kind of (self proclaimed) aviation legend. Often
promotes thread drift in a direction that allows him to toot his own horn.
Etc, etc. Maintained a Wiki listing of himself until posters here shamed him
out of it.

Thinks the value of any opinion is equal to it's printed weight in pounds.
Should have been a science fiction writer. Loves fiction.

Fancies himself a world class instructor, but has more trouble expressing
himself in simple terms than Jessie Jackson. His dissertations could easily
put a hummingbird to sleep.

Has a nasty temper and becomes very arrogant if you disagree with him.

Posts AND PROMOTES a lot of off topic cutesy banter. Thinks the world gives
a **** about his personal life I guess.

Loves to tout his money.

Used to sock puppet a lot for Bertie. I have seen a lot evidence that
suggest he actually IS Bertie.

I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea. Obviously just MY opinion, but
that was the question.
