Sure is easy to read this newsgroup!

If you wish to cure ignorance, you correct what is wrong. But I see no
corrections here.

And his only connection to aviation is a game

So?

He is not a pilot.

So?

The group was here before him and will be here long after all those
posting now are dead...

Both statements are incorrect.

The truth is, MX's 'questions' sometimes provoke interesting
discussions and some of the posts offer insights that are useful to
those of us who actually commit aviation. I'm a fairly high time pilot
and in the past adopted a couple of things mentioned he they had
not come from MX's keyboard but may have, in a case or two, were part
of a thread he started. "Like what?" Well on long XCs at night, I go
on oxygen at 10,000 feet -- earlier I left the O2 tank untapped until
a good deal higher. I am more apt to fly clearing turns going into
uncontrolled airports, and being in a Mooney tend to fly my entry legs
at pattern altitude from 3 miles out, downwinds and bases a bit lower
and a bit faster, it's easier to see and avoid slower and/or high wing
traffic that way.

Of course his naivety for real world aviation issues is often good for
a chuckle. Have you ever talked with a person with ten year's
experience, and discovered he had one year of experience ten times? MX
believes literacy in sim derived aviation talk means expertise. We
think otherwise, a gulf that will not be bridged. It is entertaining
though an image shaking on a screen prepares a pilot for turbulence?
Vertigo at a desk?

Read what you will, sometimes there's a nugget among the crap posts.

This is an explanation not a placebo

And you're proud of this?

What makes you think I'm proud of anything? Even circa 2004 when this
forum was in it's "glory days" it was still a cesspit. Back then it
was a small group of pilots basically using the forum to further their
own mythology. The same occurs to this day, albeit with a few more
cusswords and a lot less aviation content.

This has always been a wonderful place as it was in the year when I
founded a school of the arts in my name.

Modern times. No moral compass.

Yes, making **** posts on a **** internet forum. No moral compass.
Analogous to murder.

Great another Mooslim I bet.

Muhammed was a camel ****ing warlord that couldn't get along with his
own family. Islam is an ignorant knock-off religion of Christianity.
Go build a plane out of Elmer's glue, and hit 20k ft. Merry Christmas

I agree, but I'd word it differently:

It's difficult to parlay a great deal of respect for a group when the
number one cause of conflict and off topic drivel amongst users is due
to the fact that the most prolific poster of on topic posts is

Works for me,

RAP is no place to trust the content of even the simplest aviation
discussions.

Less than a week ago, you called RAP "a **** poor place for aviation
information especially for newbies" so make up your ****ing,
pea-brained mind.

Email them to me. I'll let /you/ get your fingernails full of ****.

Toot your little horn all you want charlie, but I'll
tell you one thing, you can bet your sweet ass I'll
never descend 4000 ft again without clearing the
engine. There are decent people in this group.
Negativity is for the unaccomplished, period. Life

Here are a couple of habits I have that real aviators might find worth
considering. MS sim drivers can ignore what follows.

1 --I keep a couple of Ziplock bags in my brain bag -- useful for both
motion sickness and frankly sometimes on a long XC can provide the
immediate relief someone (in one or two cases the PIC) needed from too
much en route coffee,

2 -- that Five Hour Energy drink (in my case half a bottle) is much
more effective in increasing alertness than a thermos of en-route
coffee, and as an additional benefit can save on zip lock bags (see 1
above).
