I was following r.a.p back when all three of the people you mentioned

appeared to start out as "trolls" (to this group anyway.) But in one of
Mxsmanic's posts that asked an aviation-related question, Bertie was one
of those who provided an informed and civil reply (I'd have to search
Google's archive to locate that thread if you don't believe me.)

Yup. Bertie is/was a pilot and at the start of Mixedups posts treated
him (as we all did) as some-one interested in flying.
Mixedup managed to point his career here on a downward path after
that.
