Well, it could be that 90% of the activity is due to the troll's threads, and most have (wisely, IMHO) decided not to respond to him further? -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Cal Aggie Flying Farmers Sacramento, CA |

Lets all stop responding to him, and when he goes away, we can see how many left! Well, at least I tried. Missed it by ... that much? g -- Jim in NC |

I don't see many of the regulars around here, lately. -- Jim in NC In my opinion this character is perhaps one of the best if not THE best I've ever encountered on Usenet. He or she or whatever it is has redefined the definition of trolling as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely all the parameters have been met and in most cases exceeded; the gauntlet has been picked up by some; totally ignored by others; gambits have been accepted and carried to extreme ends by those engaging; the group has been effectively split from within; an absolute must to define the success of the effort. I'm actually quite satisfied with my early decision made when he/she engaged me on another forum not engage this person. Its been interesting watching him/her work this and other groups at the same time. In fact, its been one of the best experiences I've encountered since entering Usenet many years ago. I love to watch someone work who really knows what they are doing, and this character has been fun to watch. I believe now that some in the groups are finally catching on to what's been happening and joining those of us who have chosen simply to ignore the whole thing. Those arguing among themselves about him/her/it/whatever, have in my opinion simply been fodder for the cannon. :-)) VERY interesting........and it has been VERY entertaining!!!! :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Dudley Henriques |

I find that I still feel compelled to respond to some posts rather than the poster to prevent some misconceptions from spreading. :-)) Like Roger More's films, they contain just enough truth at times to make the rest sound believable.

Hi Rog; I'm back posting again there now that the Beta process is over. Actually, I've just become an MVP for Microsoft on Flight Simulator and will be working even more closely with both them and the add on developers working with the program. Dudley |

Now I know where I can send the bill when I have to upgrade all my hardware so I can run it:-)) Oh, if it'd only run on LINUX. Thanks. I'm sitting on an order now for either Hypersonic or Falcon NW for a whole new system waiting for Nvidia's new DirectX 10 GPU to come on line. Bea is going to kill me! :-)))) Its been interesting watching the program progress over time, and its amazing how knowledgeable some of the end users become after using the program. You wouldn't believe the knowledge level of some of the simmers. I helped someone just last week who had a pretty good handle on how to fly a DME arc. He just needed one little piece of data to complete his "puzzle". He was eleven years old :-)) There will be some "growing pains" with this new version while the hardware and drivers upgrade into it but from what I've seen so far working with it, the potential is unbelievable.
