You also need people who give a flyin' f**k about your questions and
don't think you're a waste of human life.

Intelligent people are uniformly members of that category.

Waste of human life is a bit harsh... sad example is a bit more on-
mark.

It looks like you've run out of those in RAP.

I'm not sure that there were any to run out of.

And its those kind of zingers which have made you so beloved to this
community.

Maybe it would be more effective to look elsewhere.

I posted these questions to two newsgroups. I'm still waiting for intelligent
answers. I thought it rather unlikely that 747 pilots would be on either
group,

The 747 jocks all hang out on A.net (http://airliners.net).
Unfortunately for you, that is a moderated forum, and I doubt you'll
last more than 3 days without being banned...

Or maybe not - play your cards right and take your ego down a few
notches, and you might learn something.

but it didn't hurt to try.

Eh... I actually tried to answer your questions until today, when I
finally sat down and read your posts... each day you stay on this
forum, you alienate more and more of the contributers... So yes, it
does hurt to try.
