Hello!

May I suggest that you subscribe to alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim and
direct your questions to that group?

I think you might receive a better reception in that group...

Bill, - he's been there, done that and now moved on to you guys, - I'm sure
he feels he gets a better class of information with you, - he's certainly
succeeded in generating longer threads, - and the main reason |I'm presently
watching this group is to see how you handle him.

Roger.

Other more appropriate groups have already been suggested... He doesn't
take the hint very well...

I also agree with Todd. He/she expresses a great interest in the real
world of flying, and I think there is no better place then
rec.aviation.piloting. The NG brings a lot of knowledge and real-world
experience to the table. I, myself, am a flight simulator enthusiast
with intentions of flying some day.

I don't disagree with the general sentiment. But he hasn't shown himself to
be such a person, IMHO. That is, in fact, the root cause of all the
complaints.

He spends most of his time arguing about the information offered to him,
rather than comprehending it. He doesn't exhibit any true desire to
actually know what reality is, instead preferring to hold tightly to all of
his preconceived notions.

That, IMHO, is a waste of bandwidth and everyone's time.

well, I am optimistic; see how pleasant Skylune has become of late? he
still has weird ideas about GA but he has become quite civil and even if
I don't agree with his arguments, he articulates them well enough to be
readable. As long as the guy asks reasonable questions I don't see
a problem; I'll just ignore the rest.

Nope. I'll take your word for it.

Obviously, "reasonable questions" is in the eye of the beholder. I
certainly won't question your threshold for that. :)

> I'll just ignore the rest.

That's a respectful, and way-too-mature attitude for me to be able to adopt,
I guess. I just can't see myself wasting time answering even seemingly
benign questions, given how quickly they often seem to turn into the
ever-deepening holes of dispair he manages to turn them into.

I have made way too many good-faith attempts to answer his questions as best
I can, only to be treated with argumentative disdain. Just not worth my
time or effort anymore.

But good luck with that, and more power to you! You're a bigger man
(woman?) than I. :)

Sounds like he fits right in...

It would be nice if he/she went out and got a little stick time, then
came back.
