Well Al....

You are entitled to your opinion, and I respect and appreciate that...

But....

Mx posted a good question, AND (in my opinion) got some good
answers...

AND

I learned some stuff about turbines from following this thread.

I am ahead, thanks to his question, and the responses that followed.

If Mx appreciates it , OK. If he does not, well, that's OK too...

But many "lurkers" learn much from replies in this group. and THEY
appreciate the responses. I can speak for only myself if you wish...I
have been a subscriber for so long I cannot remember, and have learned
and gained SO MUCH from the posts and replies in this group.

I agree with you on the above. In most cases, the questions Mxsmanic asks
are on-topic for this group, and the answers from the vairous pilots have
been enlightening to me. While I understand the frustration and even the
anger of some in this group due to Mxsmanic's attitude, irresponsible
disregard for the harm that his misinformation might cause, and his
thinly-veiled insults, this is usenet. Anthony or others of his ilk will
pop up from time to time, and the best we can do is call B.S. on posts
that are factually incorrect and move on.
