What "positive" thing has he done for either pilots here, or aviation in
general? Why does he even post in the aviation newsgroups when he refuses
to talk aviation? Why doesn't he just drop in on the soc.* groups and
harass them? His postings are more on topic there than here.

I believe Marty has admitted to never owning an aircraft. And I've never
seen him post about here flying per se.

I, too, would like to know why he posts on an aviation newsgroup. I've
never seen him start an on-topic thread yet. It's one thing to allow
thread-drift to carry you off-topic -- it's another thing entirely to NEVER
talk about flying.

Personally, I think he's really a 14 year old wannabe, with a 6th-grade
command of English.

Martin's a delightful individual with an original sense of humor and a

As to being around a couple weeks, what a laugh. I've been around since
before it was commercialized and IMO Usenet was a better place then
because you had real answers, not the drivel Martin spews. If you went to
a newsgroup on aviation that's what you found, not this propaganda Martin
spews. When I started reading Usenet the only way to get it was by a UUCP
connection, so I have been here for more than a couple weeks. I lurk more
than I post, but I do post once in a while.

I have yet to see a posting from him describing his flights, or places
he's gone flying at, or kids he's taken up. Does he even fly a plane, or
is he just out there flying high?


In the end, I've got a cold and he just pushed the wrong buttons and I
vented. You can only take Martin in small doses.

For a positive comment about him, he does post references for many of his
more down to Earth claims.

I would like to challenge Martin to post only about Aviation with no
political undertones for one week. I bet he can't do it.
