Nothing could have illustrated my point more, or better. Yet another
anonymous poster ("F. Baum" is neither "F" nor "Baum") polluting a
thread with bitterness, inaccuracies, misspellings, grammatical
errors, and just plain bad karma.

I've posted on these groups thousands of times over the last nine
years, and have made many good and lasting friends here. I started
here back when I was a new aircraft owner, and have learned more about
aviation than I could have ever learned anywhere else.


For your information, I was posting here looooong before you were, you
tiny little man. Both as BTB and under my real name and a couple of
others.


To say these groups were a marvelous asset to any pilot was an
understatement. There was simply no better source of information
available, anywhere.

Good, that's what it;'s supposed to be.


How far we have fallen!


Yep, endless posts about how you like to arrange your sausage and eggs
to look like airplanes and endless weather reports from i-o-wer have
lowered the tone considerably.


Over time, I came to know most of the regulars here, both on-line and
in-person. I created our "Rogue's Gallery" of Rec.Aviation pilots
(See it he http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm) to
provide a place for everyone to show off their planes and where
they've flown, and everyone used it -- back when I used to promote its
existence here.


You're a fjukkin saint.



Sadly, sometime in early 2007, things started to change. The level of
cordial collegiality and downright brotherhood here -- formerly the
best part of this group -- began to deteriorate. Suddenly we had non-
pilots posing as pilots -- and real pilots responding to them with
such brilliant responses as "****wit!" -- over and over and over
again, ad nauseum.

And yet you kept looking.

Stoooopid, really stooopid.

Even a dog stops ingesting things that make him nauseous.

OTOH, some dogs eat their own ****.

Now, it's simply impossible to start a thread -- on any topic -- that
doesn't end up a ****ing match between MX and Bertie,

Too dumb to use a killfile?
