Agreed. When I pointed that out, I was called what? An idiot? I don't
remember. Not important.

I am here for enjoyment, and enlightenment, and when a person interrupts
that, I don't need them.

Well, Jim, I always try to remember where I am, and to keep a thick skin
along with a good sense of humor. Usenet ain't for wimps.

Shoot, I was called far worse than "idiot" in that thread, but, hell, Weir
has called me worse than that on a GOOD day. ;-) In the end it's good to
always remember that we're all here for the same reason: A love of
aviation.

Nothing should obscure that.

Dudley can be a passionate, mouthy, profane, goofy-as-hell, arrogant dolt --
but he also happens to know stuff about many aspects of aviation that I
don't know, and can never personally experience. He is also passionate
about what he knows, and is willing to stand up for what he believes --
which is a helluva lot more than I can say for a lot of the mealy-mouthed
folks I've met here over the years.

What he says may be wrong as hell, but I'll defend to the death his right to
say it.

As a result, I won't killfile him, and would, in fact, still offer him a
beer if he were to land at my airport. We might beat each other half to
death, if that were to actually happen, but, in the end, I will have learned
a thing or three that I couldn't have learned from anyone else.

Sometimes you've got to take a lot of bad to see the good.

Gee. I didn't get either the beer or the beating when I landed at
your airport last year. Sniff :-(

Yeah, sorry about that -- we were really busy, doing what I can't remember.

What month were you in town? Wasn't I getting ready to leave when you
checked in, or something?

Hey, in the middle of that thread I started thinking about adding "AOPA
Project Mentor Pilot" and "AOPA Airport Representative" to my signature
line -- but it just didn't look cool enough next all that "Fighter Pilot"
stuff...

Ah...but is his sig as arrogant and offensive as mine?

People are often a lot different in meatspace.

My Dad told me about people he worked with having 'Bakelite Bravery' -
i.e. they could yell and scream and swear at people over the phone, but
would never do it face to face. Made me chuckle, I've seen that a lot in
USENET.

There was actually a psychology study performed on this subject that I read
about some time ago. The researchers gathered data on what cyber-citizens
thought of each other: how they thought each other looked and various
quantifiable personality traits.

After compiling the data, the researchers had the cyber-citizens meet in
meatspace then interviewed the citizens again.

It is no surprise to me that what people *thought* other people were like in
real life were not even close to reality.

A notable exception in this group is Mr. Honeck here. He's as "real" in
meatspace as he is in real life. That's a compliment, Mr. Jay.

On the other hand, most of you probably think I'm a studly, low-wing kinda
guy with redneck tendencies that tall, blonde, supermodels dig. In real
life I'm . . . Well, that's pretty accurate.

Never mind.

Hee hee!

Last night "Doug" -- a fellow from out west who flies a Husky on amphibious
floats (he hangs out mostly in .owning and .student) -- quite literally
dropped in out of the blue, on his way to a floatplane fly-in out east.

When he called the Inn from the airport, he was ****ed that I wasn't going
to be around for a couple of days. He got over that in a hurry, when we
picked him up at the terminal, drove him over to our hangar, and there were
a bunch of people actually grilling out and drinking beer, just like I
always talk about! (Bill and Sharon, a couple who flew in from Maryland in
their gorgeous Luscombe, were there, too. Bill's a retired United Air Lines
pilot, and Sharon is a *gasp* IRS employee who also owns here own Luscombe.
They actually own THREE Luscombes! But I digress...)

As he chewed his barbecue chicken sandwich, Doug seemed sort of befuddled by
it all, in a good way. He even mentioned that he wasn't sure if I had made
up EVERYTHING, from the Inn, to my kids, to Mary, to Atlas -- and he seemed
like he really couldn't believe that it all actually EXISTED!

We had a great time! (What a COOL plane he's got! Talk about a
go-anywhere machine!)

A notable exception in this group is Mr. Honeck here. He's as "real" in
meatspace as he is in real life. That's a compliment, Mr. Jay.

Some people are pretty disappointed that I'm actually what I seem to be....

Well, you got most of that right... :-)

So are you doin' any flying, or what? Don't even tell me you're back on
the ground for another year!
