You don't get to pick who participates in a Usenet discussion.

I
have done this pro-bono, free, for nothing, not a damn dime, and in
the case of
one class at the Sun N Fun camp in Lakeland contibuted some of the
material.

It's funny how often someone tries to use "free" as a preemption for
all criticism. That happens to be a peeve of mine, but that's aside.

Now as to why you want to mouth off and call me a troll is strictly
up to you.

I called your post, not you, a troll, but yes, it is strictly up to me.

But let me assure you the question was meant to be answered by people
that have
some sense as to what is going on in aviation when it comes to
training
students to get from point A to B.

Qualified people are already tired of this topic.

The question by the students daughter made
for a point of discussion and there for I posted it to get some
opinions and
not smart a** remarks.

You don't get to pick what remarks are made in a Usenet discussion.

I appreciate the comments that have been made, except
yours, and found that most agree that a GPS might fail and pilotage
might just
save someone's butt some day..

That's because it's obvious, and has already been beat to death.

As for the question of IF it would ever be removed from the written
or the PTS
it was only that.....a question.

All trolls are just questions.

As for you remarks about my experience as a CFI. Been one since 1965
and have
instructed in J3s to transports and have held 11 FAA issued Check
Airman
letters.

I speculated that you're either not a CFI or this is a troll. If you
are a CFI, I'll stick with the latter.

No I dont advertise as a "World Famous Flight Instructor" but just
try and
teach students the basics and impart some knowledge learned from 42
years of
aviating.I am not going to list my hours and ratings because there
are people
on here that have more. I am not going to try and impress anyone on
this group.

Your credentials are actually very impressive.

Just try and be a little civil when someone asks a question and dont
let your
smart mouth prove that you might be the troll.

Try to grow a thicker skin, or at least a sense of humor, if you're
going to post trolls on Usenet. All I said was "Troll" and "Yeah,
right." There are certainly not offensive statements. It's not
"mouthing off." If anyone finds them uncivil, he's taking himself way
too seriously. If they're not applicable to the discussion, just skip
them.
