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.

If you are tired of reading a
particular poster's style... then killfile .. filter him out.

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.

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.

Ampmeter,

Apparently you have not read Boss Bernie's tome on... "fun".
Masturbation appears to be more publicly acceptable to him, unless....
you consider it - MORE FUN.

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...

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

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.

From that website it says:

"During WW II, the AAF was almost independent from the Army, "

Notice it says AAF, not AAC.

1907 - Aeronautical Section of the Signal Corps.
1914 - Aviation Section (Signal Corps).
1918 - United States Army Air Service
1926 - United States Army Air Corps
1941 - United States Army Air Forces
1947 - United States Air Force
