But someone to bite my ass because of the way "they" define

other people who use the groups - bites my ass.

That was and ass biting? Hardly.

....and Jim was merely applying long-standing conventions on how
Usenet newsgroups are meant to work -- conventions that are most
of two decades old or older. One is expected to become familiar
with them before plunging into posting.

And - the "all due respect" had to deal with how he responded
in quite an abrupt and self-centered way.

It wasn't self-centered at all, any more than pointing out ill
behavior in other fields of endeavor is self-centered.

And - maybe - if you realized that I might have checked this
group first, you could "probably" figure out and avoid the flame
contest.

Flame contest? Again, hardly. I haven't seen anything that remotely
resembles flammage here.

This being rec.aviation._misc_, one would expect topics to appear
here only if they were not suitable for one of the other groups.
Having found rec.aviation.homebuilt, you should have stopped there.

Point taken on checking on other groups. I get a little
defensive when people attach unecessarily.

yours,
Michael
