Question: Are you a certified pilot yet with your "200 hours in the

Had a sky diver friend of mine tell me once (there was liquor involved
so I can't attest to the absolute truth of the matter :-) that his
insurance guy, when figuring out the rates for his life insurance, told
him that when the company ran the model through the computers, they
discovered that if he could remain in the free fall part of the jump
indefinitely, the rate would be extremely good, but that it was the end
of the jump and the potential problems associated with the various
endings that part entailed that made the difference and raised the rate.

I guess it is true in skydiving also...the whole trick is how well you can stop...

I hesitate to add to this discussion because I'm not an instructor,
just a rather slow student who's not qualified to give advice that
might kill someone.

Somehow I have better things to do than tracking down every
intentionally deceptive thing you write. There are so many, even a CIA
wiretap would be insufficient.

And -- once again -- you fail to reply to the direct question.

I wonder why?

Then don't ask me to answer questions that have been so, My Little Trick
Pony.

Humor in teaching works when it's situational, responding to a
specific situation. Best done in an actual teaching situation. In
written materials it's tedious. Quite frankly whenever I read
Machado, I get the impression he has a jokes per paragraph quota that
he's gonna fill whether he has material or not.

My feeling also.

That said, I did buy and read his (first?) instructional manual, and I
was less likely to fall asleep over it than with Gleim etc.

It's more the monthly column in AOPA Pilot that wearies me.

I don't see a question, Dan. Did you have a question? Better hurry, I'm
considering filtering all Google Groupers, something about "not bright
enough to use a newsreader", whaddya think?

Oh please do! I'd be so happy to have nothing to do with you!

Oh.. and for the record -- I wrote a newsreader back in 95 for my own
use.

You were probably too busy humping a ruck in that LRRP unit, or
scaling Everest, or building time in a Lear, then...
