Right - the accusation that I'm an idiot is "demonstrating expertise" Where did anyone accuse you of being an idiot? Quote carefully, now --- it's all on Google, go on, have a good look... Just because it's the internet does not mean that the normal practices of polite human interaction are somehow suspended. Exactly my point. Do you begin "polite human interaction" by responding to someone's information with "assuming this is legit..."? That's damned rude in my book, and won't make you welcome in the conversations I've experienced. I'm an old hand at the Net and Usenet, having used it daily since about 1980. Without improving your ability to read accurately and communicate precisely, it would appear. Personally when I seek information, I start out with questions. "Is it important to purchase only a TSO'd headset? What does TSO really mean? Do pilots find that TSO'd headsets are more reliable than non-TSO'd headsets?" not by making a buttload of assertions including a total fabrication about battery boxes bursting into flame. The latter will get you a faster response for sure, but evidently not of the kind you find enjoyable. How can someone who asserts he's been on USENET for more than a decade not know this? Beats me.

But *now* I'm going to to call you an idiot, because you obviously are one. human interaction are somehow suspended. I'm an old hand at the Net and Usenet, having used it daily since about 1980. I'm also a very new student Bull****. Nobody who was using Usenet in 1980 does TOFU posting. Up until the never ending September of 1993, anybody who didn't learn to trim their quoted text would have been hounded off of any reasonable newsgroup. correction where it was in error. I suppose we egg's should just sit silently in rapturous awe at the feet of the Masters. Thanks for making me No, people who make wrong statements should take correction without accusing the person making the corrections of being arrogant. feel so very welcome to the group. You're not welcome to the group. People who can accept correction are. So are people who don't lie about their qualifications. -- Paul Tomblin , not speaking for anybody There is no substitute for good manners, except, perhaps, fast reflexes. |

I am buying our fourth ANR headset at OSH 2003 later this month. Thus, soon a Garmin 196 will be resting comfortably on my yoke, God willin' and the crick don't rise... By golly, that's my kind of guy. If I come home from OSH without holes worn in my credit card, I feel like I haven't enjoyed the full experience. Someone told me they have aerobatics displays and stuff at the show - is that true? See you at the vendors booths... -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

FYI - top posting is the current norm in many Usenet groups, especially the
MS tech support groups where I spend most of my time. With newsreaders like Outlook Express, some people find embedded responses can be more difficult to read than the top posts. "If it is legit.." was not impuning any individual report but rather the blanket assertion that flaws and failures in use are endemic to Lightspeed, which has been alleged, not in your post nor about this particular problem, but rather in other threads where people have criticised Lightspeed's quality control. A battery pack that is hot enough to melt its casing and emit smoke is on the verge of combustion and even if it did not ignite itself it seems to me to present a risk that it could cause more flammable objects in contact with it to ignite. Heck, Dell Computer recalled a batch of Nicads battery packs for some of their laptop models a year or so ago because of nearly identical overheating problems that had, in fact, resulted in full blown fire in several cases. ..

Now, now, Ron, let's not split hairs. PMA is almost always issued
simultaneously with the TSO, but it is the PMA documentation that sets the inspection standard(s). Jim "Ron Natalie" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: - -If you've got a TSOA, you've also got manufacturing authority. - Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.

It just means a bunch of newbies are posting in that newsgroup. With newsreaders like Outlook Express, some people find embedded responses can be more difficult to read than the top posts. How in the WORLD does the newsreader being used affect how easy it is to READ a traditionally quoted post versus a top-posted post? As far as your example of Dell battery packs goes...there's a big difference between the available current in a laptop battery and a battery pack driving a headset. Pete |

... Actually, Microsoft actively encouraged HTML posting in the microsoft.* newsgroups I don't know what you mean by "actively encouraged". However, even if true, I fail to see what HTML posting has to do with the current topic, which is top posting. |
