And you two are the only ones here that don't like Sydney.
Are you two neighbors or something?

I appreciate the compliment, but my first reaction reading
this was:

"Zounds! Where have I gone Wrong?" *g*

I'm sure there are plenty of other people who don't like
me on these newsgroups, past and present. I'm not
everybody's Teacup, and I wouldn't want to be.

However, it's generally true that those who don't
like me, do respect me. Else just ignore me.

Which brings me to this request: while I appreciate your
concern for me, I wish you'd join them and leave my name
out of your exchange with "pac" whoever he may be. I
know for myself, it's much harder to sit quietly while
someone I like or respect gets abused than it is to sit
quietly while it's headed my way, but nevertheless, I ask.

Personally if I were voting, I'd vote for "pac" as a
compendium of several people including a sometime
sock puppet for BP (a la Hef/Wingie). IIRC I think he
actually sort of acknowledged something of the sort at
one point. He's had his unintentionally amusing moments.
Accusing me of "harassing" my long-time net.friend Chip
was almost as good as "Hef's" Boxter -- true ROTFL.
Now I gather he thinks I'm you, which is also funny.

But overall he just sort of seems worth ignoring to me.
Sort of like "Selway Kid" aka 'ol shy and bashful' (whose
identity is another 'hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm')

For a supposed aviation enthusiast and professional pilot,
pacplyer doesn't seem to spend much time saying anything
a) entertaining
b) worthwhile about flying.

Even Unka Bob, that noted net.curmudgeon has, in his crotchety
way, much more worthwhile to say if you read between the lines.

JMO of course and "do as thou wilt".

Cheers,
Sydney (with time to fly, temp 37/dewpoint 37, thunder and
rain, forecast ice pellets. *grumble*)
