I have watched this thread from the peanut gallery and have to say
that here is yet another example of MXS running folks around in
circles chasing their tails, and his. It started off well
enough...with real pilots doing their best to answer his (perhaps
bizarre) question. Instead of typing "thank you" and moving on, he
casually shifts the subject by taking bits and parts of your replies
out of context, becoming argumentative, and ultimately insulting...not
to anyone in particular, but to pilots as a group or some sub-group of
pilots who fit his labels. Many of you then think you are obligated
to respond to his mis-quotes and insults. Round and round you go....

Eventually this thread will die out and MXS will start over with
another topic. Someone in r.a.* recently suggested to him that he
might not be harassed as much if he tried taking advice from real
pilots and not constantly poking a stick in the hornet's nest to see
what happens. Obviously, he hasn't learned.

Sorry.....but after 80+ messages, I couldn't sit on my hands any
longer. I will now return to the peanut gallery and observe.
