IIRC he has (or had) a twin Cessna. 340 or 402 I think. Swayze had a
402 he landed in a construction area years ago after a loss of power.




Who has a Cessna?

Why can't people learn to quote?????

Because they use decently programmed newsreader software that shows the
messages in thread context without any quotes? d&r

Except, if you happen to do like I do, and just have the reader
show only new messages, you don't see the context. However, it's
no big deal to just press a button and look at the previous message
up the thread to remind myself of what it said.

But when you do a "show all messages", you have to wade through so many
unwanted threads and messages to see what you are looking for.

Much easier if people would just quote...

But... As the messages get spread between servers there is no
guarantee the messages will be in the proper order. It's quite common
to find them out of order, or even find a number of answers to a
question before the original post shows up.
In this news group I've seen as many as 6 or 7 posts show up before
the original.

No news reader is going to put those back in order or for the ones
whos computer clock is off by a bunch.


OTOH enough of them show up in order just to make it misleading.

In my case, it was not my computer's clock that determined the posting time,
but my ISP's contracted news server.

Remember back a year or so ago, the news server was in St Louis, so my posts
were being marked a couple hours early?

it is not a matter of using a 'decently programmed newsreader' but a
matter of understanding how usenet works: no matter how decently (whatever
that means) your newsreader has been programmed, it won't change the
fact that the messages/posts do not necessarily appear in the same
order on your server or on mine, and a few might not appear at all
on some server and/or not be kept there as long as on your server, etc.
i.e., the neat little view you have of threads on your machine is not
necessarily, actually very unlikely, the view I have on mine, even
if we both use the very same 'decently programmed newsreader'; hence
the necessity to quote properly; no need to keep the whole thing,
but just enough context that the reader of your post has a chance of
knowing what the heck you are talking about.

No news reader can show you posts that haven't arrived at your news server.
But once they are all there, any competent newsreader can and will display
them in the proper threaded order, primarily by using the References and
Date fields.

Oh, I agree, it is much easier, and I'll admit to getting a
little miffed when it happens. But from experience with
trying ot get others to learn how to use their newsreaders
properly (ie RAP's own skyloony), I find it's less time and
energy to just look it up.
