You must be joking. "Active pilots?" Nobody here is for real as far
as I'm concerned; I've been on USENET too long for that. You read and
then you verify. The person who answers you might or might not be a
pilot--you cannot trust what he says about that, and in any case it
doesn't matter, as long as the answer is right (or if the answer is
wrong). And so many pilots on these newsgroups have already been
wrong, in a way blatant enough to be obvious even to me, that I
wouldn't trust anything that anyone here says exclusively.

I suppose if someone wanted to appear just as ill-informed as some
real-world GA pilots, trying to get an idea of their mistakes might be
a motivation for coming here. But stupidity and ignorance know no
frontiers, so it wouldn't make anyone seem more like a US pilot.

So clearly you can't believe anything you see here. Just go away.

The problem is there is a Mx cult club out there that like feeding trolls (

As long as trolls keep getting fed, they keep coming back. :-(

I can believe it after verifying it. Also, a consensus of opinion
increases the credibility of some types of information.

So when the consensus is telling you to go RTFM, it increases
its credibility.

So do as the masses say. RT F'n M.

If so, you may as well shut down the newsgroup.

Security by obscurity doesn't work.

The group works fairly well amongst real pilots.

If you were actually an instrument pilot you would be able to separate
the wheat from the chaff here.

I, too, believe in consenus of opinion; especially that you are an
aggravating troll. Since you have been around the Internet for a long
time, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror.

Yes, it does...... I know I have learned a lot here....none of which was
related to the "sim" guy.

It's not so much the questions he asks, but the laziness he demonstrates in
not first trying to look it up himself.

Then, of course, there are also his argumentative responses to those who
actually have flown a real airplane.

It's no wonder he can't find or hold a job.
