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.

Cheers,
