Default Our Worst Nightmare?

Pick One :

1 - Avgas goes to $10
2 - User Fees
3 - Mxsmanic gets a AOPA membership (get a free hat), a pilots book (not a
simulated one), and finally, a "drive" in an actual airplane with an
instructor.......

That's my pick

2 - User Fees


I'd never ask for flight following again.

3 - Mxsmanic gets a AOPA membership (get a free hat), a pilots book (not a
simulated one), and finally, a "drive" in an actual airplane with an
instructor.......


The instructor states: "Here's one area where Microsoft does not accurately
simulate real flight", as he throws him out at 5000'

I'd pick:

4 - Anonymous immature types like you continue to spam the group with
your strange teenager-like obsession over Mxsmanic.

But at least you didn't lazily top-post a hundred lines of postings
with a one-liner attempt at a joke, like a few infamous people here do.
Yet.

Do you read a book from the bottom of the page to the top? We tend to
read in chronological order and it is nice to post in that order as
well. If you are going to top post and assume that folks don't need to
read what has been written previously, then just snip the entire quote
and save the bandwidth.

My main complaint with either type of posting is where somebody is too lazy to
trim his quotation. You end up with an archive of the entire thread attached to
the post. You also end up with a message I won't read.

If I have to scroll down to see where your answer begins, I won't.

If you are using google groups via a web browser, top posting works
better because it hides the quoted text and presents an option to
expand the hidden text. Bottom posting displays the entire message
with the quoted text.
