Some caveats for people new to aviation and to this group

Education, grandmother, ova and a fair amount of suction.

Sounds profound, but I have no idea why :-)


For some reason aviation is a subject that kooks,wannabes and Walter
Mittys latch onto..
Why?

It's the nature of man that he's excited by adventure. It's also the nature
of man that not all men are adventurers.


I have no idea. perhaps with all the accumulated wisdom you have you
might like to pass on the reasons ?

I don't play well with veiled sarcasam, and I've already stated a cornacopia
of "reasons" :-)


If you want to fly or learn to fly there are hundreds (even thousands)
of instructors waiting out there for you to walk through the doors.

Yes I know. I'm one of them :-)


Why just pass over a posters claims when you know that they are
seriously in error ?

As a flight instructor, I will naturally "correct" any "error" in a post
that I determine might be harmful to someone. This however applies to flight
safety. I should also add that even my "correction" should be considered and
researched to competent authority for verification by all who read it on
Usenet.
You on the other hand, are attempting to deal with a person's authenticity
on Usenet, which is a total waste of time and NOT related in any way to
flight safety. You are of course free to do this, as I am free to tell you
it's a waste of time. See.....that's Usenet! Nobody wins. :-))

Probably half the people posting on Usenet are not who they say they are
or
haven't done the things they say they have done. Even if you ARE who you
say
you are on Usenet, it's STILL incumbent on those reading what is written
to
do their own research to separate fact from fiction.
Only a total fool takes Usenet at face value. Everything posted on Usenet
is
questionable.

Very true. At worst; it's entertainment, with no waiting for your
favorite
program. At best, it contains information with a bibliography--or at
least
a couple of new search arguments to further your search.

I always tell people when I post something I feel is of importance
concerning flight safety on Usenet;
"Please feel free to take this post to competent authority for verification
".
Then, after years of posting comment and information, if that information is
factual and accurate, the number of people who actually take your posts to
check them out might diminish a bit :-)

Maybe not, but I have become a pessimist.

All of the people you meet in your life carry a facade they present to
the world, including the guy or gal in the mirror. Surely part of
growing up is learning that, and then learning your response to it.

Every now and then? Damn near every other post is off topic in
r.a.p.
