Every pilot should consider ALL data with skepticism -- whether

from FSS, Center, XM, or StormScope.

I don't think Jay was advocating this at all. What he was advocating

was
adding it to the VFR pilot's toolkit, and I see nothing at all wrong

with
that.


Jay's entire being is resistant to common sense. I see guys like him

all
the time, expecting radio shack to give them a short cut around

actually
developing some sort of craftlike approach to flying. I feel like
smacking them much as one wants to give an 11 year old with a

cigarette
behind his ear a smack on the back of the head.



Yeah, or an over the hill has been with a keyboard.



OK, I actually reckoned you were just a jerkoff posting crap between
downloading pr0n, but if you say so.

BTW, you don't think you're actually annoying me or anything, do you?
I'm just curious. I'm interested in how lower life forms think. Prolly
should ask the pet tortoise, he's a bit more articulate than you.
