Neither, it's simply logic.

So you call them nothing.

Right.

Compared to playing golf, or owning a 1/2 assed boat,
flying is still a cheap hobby. What a $100/hr gets you
a rental with a CFI, of course if you "Mx" is an invalid,
then that's different...are you?

I don't understand the question.

Anthony is to chicken **** to go in a sail boat!

Well you must try it.
Your doing a tack with the sail fully stable suckin'
energy from the wind, cuttin' water and bouncin'
waves off the starboards, that's the sound you hear.

Next, you reverse tact and the sail flutters (stalls)
until re-acquistion of stability going in nearly the
opposite direction and you're still heading into the
wind, so the net motion is into the wind. Every pilot
should do that. I was on trapeze, with a good fat old
captain on the til, and me being a skinny lively bitch
loved jumped to either side of the boat, pulling the
sail to max the energy out of the wind.

Ken
PS: Read about it.

I'm no longer interested in maintaining any so called "level" on this
forum. If and when I drop in here which won't be often, I'll post as I see
fit.

Dudley, I would respectfully request that if you feel that going down to
some's level is what you _must_ do, that it would be appreciated that you
just hang up on stopping by, at all.

The _only_ chance of getting this group back to having any positive value,
is if we can convince enough people to not take the trolls and idiot's bait,
and make it so boringly nice, that they go away.

Yes, I know it is a long shot, but we need to win over people, one at a
time.

I hope that we can count on you to not respond to the trolls and idiots. I
know it is hard, but you have done many hard things before, I'm sure.

Thanks,

I've been a long time getting around to this, but go **** yourself you
****ing moron. It's YOU and your ilk that have ruined this group, and no
one else. Take a look at the latest thread coming down, "RAP is NOT
Dead". You ****ing idiots have another one going now. First someone
posts about the issue, then YOU chime in with your idiotic 2cents worth
and the thread is off and running.
I've been watching you in particular doing this for months. You post,
and post, and post, with your moronic lecturing on what everyone should
do and not do.
To be quite frank, you make me sick. You're the worst one in the whole
bunch of idiots who keep this thing alive.
The answer is just DON'T START these idiotic threads about the people
you don't like on this forum. Just shut the **** up and it will solve
itself.
I'm sick and tired of passing on you people. It's YOU ****ups who keep
all this going. If you don't like Anthony, or if you don't like ME, just
either kill file us or pass.
God, people like you burn my ****ing ass.
Go get ****ed you idiot!

Very well stated Jim.....

I am very disappointed that Dudley would even think about lowering his
standards..... Oh well, who am I to say since I am just a measily RAP
and RAS person since 2000....

To stay in the theme of the group, my plane coming out of the avionics
shop I hope Monday so I can resume my videoing on my You Tube channel.
Settled for videoing the weather since it wasn't flying weather
anyway.

New Garmin SL30 being installed, getting my Garmin 250XL
reinstalled.

For new folks passing through and don't know me....

is my Youtube channel that includes all phases of flight from
preflight, to night landings to shutdown procedures as well as ILS's,
VFR takeoffs and landings, ATC comms extracted from ATC.net website
and enroute shots from my various XC's. Also even have a "logbook in
review" that relives my milestones from first flight to closure of
logbook #1. Some to music, some not

I haven't lowered my standards one iota. I just save them for forums
where I don't have to deal with idiots.

I can't swim, which is bad if you intend to go out on the ocean in a tiny

Could be bad even if you go in a BIG boat.
