I know you are pretty proud of the aviation knowledge that you have
gained. However, as with most aspects of life, without the proper
letters behind your name people are not going to see as you an expert
in anything.

How people see me is not very important.

Through all the "noise"...

Bob and Dudley come through a good answer to a good question by MX..

Now I know the answer as well..

I have learned something...

..I DID NOT KNOW THIS.....

Yep, when MX behaves himself and avoids lying or otherwise
foisting his fantasies and misrepresentations of flight on us,
and asks intelligent questions, he gets intelligent answers.
It's generally helpful to the group.

When he acts like a putz, then he gets flames.

It's always possible to turn your life around if you try.

I looked it up, though I don't know why I spent the time doing that because
learning the name of something does not impart any knowledge or
understanding per se. Knowing aviation slang and colloquialisms are of
course useful for communicating, but I'm not sure what other use is served.

Cool, thanks!

With all your aviation knowledge, why not jump on the Metro to Le
Bourget Cedex FAA testing center and spend the afternoon taking your
AGI and FOI exams?

Actually, that's not quite true. Sometimes the =name= of something
gives hints as to its relationship to other somethings one already knows
the name of. That imparts understanding.

No, if he believes himself to be an aviation expert, he should have no
problems passing the tests.

What I mean is there are enough assholes involved in teaching ground
schools already. I've seen quite a few of them, most are lucky to avoid
lynching after they teach. We have one in my place. never a pilot but he
teaches some of our ground schools. Suffice to say he's cut from the
same cloth as this moron.

I'll give you the objective. If you take the tests before before April 1,
2007 and score above a 90% on both tests I will mail you a crisp new $100US
bill. If you don't score at least 90% on the test you promise to NEVER under
any name to ever post in a REC.Aviation.* newsgroup.
