Please ignore Mx

I am one of the 'used to be" regulars on this newgroup. Mx provided some entertainment and interesting threads, but its death was driven by others engaged in ****ing contests. Examine the history for all of the evidence you might need.

I check in, as Jim in NC does, from time to time, but would suggest a DNR is a suitable final post.

The old group had some real benefits -- I am. I think, a better pilot for having read some postings, but the worthwhile comments were swamped by nonsense posts, until they all went away.

I am among those who do NOT lay the blame on MX.

Please, everyone, if you don't know the history of this group, let me

active group (around 200 posts per day) has been all but abandoned. He is
death to any group he touches.

Sounds like nonsense to me. A few years ago I recall claims in this
group being made that were not mathematically sound. When challenged,
(and verifiable proof to the contrary was posted), accusations and
attacks of "MXing" came out, instead of sound reasoning as to why
someones unexplained viewpoint must be accepted.

I don't know MX, but he seems to be surrounded by fools who expect
blind acceptance of opinions (expressed as fact), as opposed to using
good logic or sound math.

I actually left the newsgroup because of what seemed to be foolish
regulars who use mob rule to force unsubstantiated opinions down ones
throat. I left because of those surrounding and attacking MXmaniac
and anyone who tried to discuss topics logically.

I just stepped into the newsgroup today for the first time in years,
and find this gem of a post.

Guess I'll have to give a few years more.
