Your exclusion of the rec.aviation.student newsgroup from your former

list
of target groups demonstrates your sincerity and attempt at prudence.


The student group was NOT excluded. This thread appears there as it does
here.


True. But the OP's followup article* (to which my comment was
directed) does not; he trimmed the student group from the
'Newsgroups:' header.

The fact that is [sic] does appear there was the reason for my initial
response. If it had just been on "piloting" I never would have responded,

as
I have absolutely nothing to do with this group and don't post here

unless
circumstances warrant it; as this post demonstrates.


You just read rec.aviation.piloting without posting? Interesting.

I am not subscribed to rec.aviation.student, and attempt to omit that
newsgroup from my followups to articles cross posted there unless it
seems appropriate to include the student group.

There are now only 25 articles in this thread on my ISP's nntp server
at this time in the rec.aviation.student newsgroup; none of them are
authored by me.

In fact, this identical post from BW you have answered has been posted

under
me over there.


Forgive me, but I'm not readily able to divine your meaning in that
sentence. The phrase 'posted under me' is troubling; you're implying
that a message appears in your newsreader client program visually
positioned beneath one you posted, not that it was attributed to your
authorship, right? The meaning's got to be precise for us pedants to
comprehend. :-) Otherwise, the ambiguities are overwhelming and
necessitate guessing at the author's meaning (always risky).

At any rate, I only see BD's original article* and no others authored
by him, none authored by me, and only one** authored by you in this
thread in the student newsgroup at this time.

** Message-ID:
k.net


Not sure at all how all this factors in with the two newsgroups scenario,
as I really don't have the time to research exactly what has been posted to
what and by whom. The initial post by BW was cross posted to about six
newsgroups including "student" and "piloting"
I caught it on the student group. When I posted a response, my browser
wouldn't recognize any of the groups the OP had used except this one and
"student". Instead of trimming out "piloting" which I should have done, and
always do because I don't have anything at all to do with this group or the
people here, I accidentally posted the reply to both groups. That started
the usual responses from "piloting". I trimmed all further responses to
"piloting" until I noticed that BW had posted the exact same post to both
you here and to me over there. You of course had stated that you felt his
trimming of "student" to be a positive factor. I merely have pointed out
that his messages on this issue have been posted on "student" and as far as
I can determine, no such "trimming" has occurred.
As for me reading "piloting" and not posting; I don't frequent this group
for several reasons, and try never to post here. I wouldn't be posting here
now if it wasn't for the mistake I made in not trimming my initial answer
properly. I take it this exchange between you and I might involve one more
post or perhaps none at all, then I will no longer be either reading here or
posting here.

Hmm??? Wonder what all he doesn't like about r.a.p.?

Oh well, maybe he just doesn't have the time to read another newsgroup.

That's what I'm going with :-)
