Pacplyer I have 'plonked' BWB but all of 'you' keep including his filth in your posts back to him. Have you ever used the insert "----clip----"? I'm sure he knows what he wrote so you telling him back in your reply is redundant. Big John, Pac sez: Your points are valid John and I apologize to all for my cargo dog language, and for reposting the same by responding to same. But Usenet is the wild, wild west of the internet and it may just happen again. Sorry in advance when I, or others cuss up a storm about something we feel passionate about. :-\ All, I look at RAH just like a busy intercity freeway. People who are anonymous in their automobiles do things they never would consider doing to others face to face in a social setting. They flip the bird when they get cut off, and then, they swerve with no blinkers in front of a slow vehicle in the fast lane to get even. Again, that's not how these people act when they get out of their automobiles. That's not how they act to those they know, or have just met at the store. I don't attack them at the filling station to get even. No harm, no foul. RAH is identical in almost every way except one: No structure, other than the regular's sharp reprisals exist to put a wild driver into question. When a Charlatan gets exposed, he usually fires a parting shot and leaves. Or when a person has no depth of character, or nothing memorable to say he usually seeks an anonymous cloak and nit-picks the others about being off-topic, uncivil, or turns into a spellchecker. :-( That's life on the freeway: you have great drivers and then you have Helen Keller. Granted, in this analogy, BWB is nothing less than the terminator in a runaway Peterbuilt. If we can just re-program his prime directive, we would have one hell of a writer on our hands again. Be patient. It's either that or we'll just have to kill him. ;-) (mass injections of Muzzleloader come to mind. But save some for me, I have yet to sample this fine sounding cure-all.) Now for my pet peeve about all of you: I do not accept the on-topic/off-topic outlook many of you have for RAH. It is not a place in cyberspace confined only to the demands of newbies that want free homebuilding information. RAH is our home, and I consider all of you my friends. I've been reading you for years and I feel as if I know all of you. Yes even that "Alpha Hotel" I had to flame the other day! :-# As long as RAH remains 100% unmoderated, I will enjoy it and hang out here. :-) Back to net-rage. On the real road, the state maintains a hugely expensive police force to stop this behavior, but it doesn't put a dent in the road rage problem. All it does is fill up donut shops with cops who, understandably, don't want to deal with it. We have a lot of road rage at RAH. With total freedom of expression in play, and a large population of people driving around with fake license plates, feathers are going to get ruffled. But tolerating a bunch of Netcops in our presence is not the answer. Instead of dictating or trying to change all of your behavior... Maybe, if for example: I developed a little thicker skin when someone said I was full of Methane, I could just accept him/her for what she/he is: a ****ing moron... whoops: withdrawn! (hey, lawyers get away with that!) strike that from the record; I meant: a different mentally developed individual than myself. ;-) Someone (perhaps a colleague,) once alluded that, my posts "didn't ring true." If I'd of have a thicker skin, maybe I wouldn't have felt compelled to flame his sorry ass to the ground... but boy, I must confess, he deserved it and it sure felt Gooooood! I have since kinda regretted it (But the ******* asked for it, right?) O.K, O.K. it was wrong. But Ladies and Gentlemen, RAH is GA, and GA IS inherently dangerous. We just lost two pilots in experimentals in our area last month. If you can't suffer a little criticism or overlook the faults of professional pilots and builders with experience, then you don't belong in the sky. pacplyer - out |

Pacplyer I have 'plonked' BWB but all of 'you' keep including his filth in your posts back to him. Have you ever used the insert "----clip----"? I'm sure he knows what he wrote so you telling him back in your reply is redundant. Depending on your news reader, just mark the thread to be ignored. That is a real handy feature of agent. For some reason I turned on "read all messages" instead of just the unread ones. (I think it was to find the beginning of some thread), but anyways... I discovered threads still running that I had marked "ignore" over 6 months ago. LOL I have been looking for a program that will eliminate any quote of a individual after I 'plonk' him but haven't found one yet. I just plonk the thread. Usually once it reaches the point where I want to get rid of a poster I am about ready to get rid of the thread as well. Due to the variations of news readers and the way posters quote, or use quotes it'd be almost impossible to program a filter to remove the quoted text from just a specific poster when it is included. snip snip If you want 'filth' on the News Group, then I can forward some of the porno spam I get every day in my mail box, so you will have something to read when BWB isn't posting. Let me know. I have my e-mail set to display as text only so I never see any of those any more. Just about 15 adds for Viagra and another 15 or so that I know what I'd find if I did turn on HTML. :-)) Oh, and the 5 or 10, or 20 get rich quick schemes and the 4 or 5 South African scams and variations there of. Oh, and another 10 for a process that's supposed to help those who feel nature has left them at a disadvantage. :-)) Actually most of that stuff gets filtered to a [junk mail] folder where I just check it for false positives about once a week, which is about as often as I check the return address I use for posting. Sooo...if any one e-mails me direct off the newsgroups, I will answer, but it may take a while. So, I still only see about 5 or 6 spam a day unless I go count the ones that are automatically filtered out. I used the one address since 96 and never had more than 5 or 6 spam per day on average. Then about two months ago the flood gates opened and it went to 60. Now it's back down to about 30 and slowly getting less since I disabled HTML. Prior to two months ago, I could never figure out why people were complaining about so much spam. Roger Halstead (K8RI EN73 & ARRL Life Member) www.rogerhalstead.com N833R World's oldest Debonair?

More likely we have had our fill of foul mouthed people. You know it IS possible to make a point without personal attacks and vulgarity. Dan, U. S.

Barnyard BOb -- Master Baiter I did notice that Bernie seems to want to bring everything down to the basics... "ass licking" may be one of his favorite activities since he mentions it so much. A few years ago, my wife made the mistake of asking her admin assistant what he did over the weekend. Needless to say, she learned that sometimes you DON'T want to know some things... she didn't understand what he said and asked further... she learned what "rimming" was... I'll stop here.. don't want to offend any sensitive folks, ya know... John |

BWB never touched a Nuc weapon. They had programs that screened out kooks like him.

In article , Badwater Bill says...
Yes, after all these years, I must stand up for Jim Campbell, my hero. Jim has done it all. He's the single most wonderful person he knows...I mean that I know. Yes, he's my hero. He's the air-cop of the universe, putting all the sheisters out of business, supporting the average "Joe." Just making things RIGHT for GA. My hero Jim Campbell is my pick for pilot of the year...schmuck of the year(where the hell did that come from?)...gentleman and do-it-all of the year. Gee Bill I didn't know that such a heartfelt sentiment could come from you and while your tongue was so firmly planted in your cheek. I hope zoom gets all he deserves for everything he's done.... See ya Chuck S RAH-15/1 ret "evil didn't prosper because good men spoke and evil was nuts" anon |

On AAC, yes until the USAF broke off in '47.
AAC went out of business years before 1947. I think it turned into USAAF in 1941. I would have to look it up to be sure. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired |
