There you go... the mystery is solved if your middle name is Arthur. They
don't show the final "s" in the name.

Yep...seems to have solved THAT mystery all right.

Now, the only mystery left for me is how Usenet can be so chuck full of
people who actually spend most of their on line time concerned with "
exposing" someone....or discovering that someone isn't who they appear to
be.....or that someone is lying.....or that THEY have a better answer than
someone else.......or what has come to be for me at least; the ultimate
mystery of Usenet......that being the existence of people out here who
actually will wait patiently for a particular poster they don't like to post
something....ANYTHING......and then check every word...every
statement......every meaning....in the twisted hope that the poster they
don't particularly like very well will make a mistake.....no matter how tiny
a mistake or error...that THEY can jump on immediately to use as "absolute
proof" that the object of their "exposure" is flawed!
Actually, I solved this "mystery" years ago. That's why I no longer treat
Usenet as a serious means of communicating with my fellow pilots. It's just
an odd place on the net to come into from time to time...see my name bandied
about by people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about,
then leave quietly as I came.....either totally disgusted or laughing like
hell at the sheer stupidity that is Usenet :-)

I don't know what database you are using, but I suggest you try using
the one the FAA maintains.

http://162.58.35.241/aadatabase/login.asp

It most certainly does contain former pilots - even ones who haven't
flown for decades. There is also no cutoff date and no requirement to
hold a current medical.

Interesting website. I put in my father's name and it came up! He passed
away a couple of years ago and hasn't flown many years beyond that. I
put is my first and last names and came up with five of us. Different
middle names except two.

Finally, can't we all get along? All of these groups should be for
sharing information, experiences, requesting assistance from one
another, etc. And if it gets out of hand, do not respond. Just stop it.
You can't stop the other person from posting, but by not replying the
thread will die.

Let's all have fun and learn.

That would be it for me. Lost the medical years ago. That's the reason I
became a consultant :-)

You're not a Pilot any more. you are a FAILURE. If you were a pilot,
you'd still be flying.

****ing loser.

LOL. The troll must be jealous.

If you don't have a medical, you are not a pilot.

How many hours have you logged?

Duhdley is not a
pilot. he may have been one, but on this day, in the year 2005, he is
not a pilot. He is nothing but an old "remember-when" and nothing more.

Which is worth more to every single pilot here in a single post than you
will ever be.
Neil Armstrong is a washed-up astronaut. But he still walked on the moon.

I say again, you Republicans are as stupid as your leader.

Guys like these are why Democrats don't win elections. Every intelligent
thing a liberal leader says is undermined by some clueless jackass like
this, which is what people remember when they think of liberaldom. In fact,
guys like this are the best thing to happen to Republicans.

But, let's get back on the subject--flying--which should pretty much push
this guy right out of the loop.

Anybody know the Vancouver pilot that crashed in Portland, Oregon this
weekend?

You may wish to wash that egg off your faces...

You republicans really are as stupid as your leader.

I'm not a Republican, but you're stupid. The real pilots out here, which
is to say not you, know Dudley's Dudley because of the accuracy and quality
of information he gives.

He knows things and says things native to aviation that guys like you
wouldn't understand, which is why the vast majority of people out here who
don't care whether his name is "Dudley" or "Old MacDonald" recognize him as
an accomplished pilot.

We wouldn't expect you to understand, because you're not an aviator.

As a non-Republican, I'm embarrassed to see you speaking on behalf of
non-Republicans. It's guys like you that scare away the moderate voters.

As opposed to all the clueless jackass Republicans? (Rush, O'Reilly, et al)

Come on...both parties have plenty of clueless jackasses to go around.

Democrats certainly do win elections (so you've started with a false premise
anyway), and the number of clueless jackasses on either side has little to
do with that, one way or the other.

Frankly, the incredibly slim margins that have been deciding elections
around the country (and including the Presidential one, of course) is
evidence to me that NEITHER party is doing a very good job addressing things
people really care about. Most people are obviously just flipping a coin.

Nope...I did find myself wondering if the airplane was a Cessna 150
though...

Why do you waste your time on a Usenet troll? This kid's probably about
14 and using daddy's computer to jerk people around when he should
be doing his jr high homework.

Naw. The sad thing is he's probably 40, drunk and living in his mama's
basement.

Odds are he failed a medical or got kicked out of flight school, which is
why he's taking it out on Dudley (who doesn't have a medical and is
otherwise everything this loser wishes he was big enough to be.)

It is an unfortunite fact of common human nature to wish to be BETTER than
others and the simplest way is to discredit everyone else. Unfortunately
this tactic robs the time and energy that would be required to truely better
themselves.
Remember "natering nabobs of negativism"?

Also unfortunately this tactic is often used in the courts of both legal and
electoral judgement and is the reason negative political advertizing works
so well. It is however also a comment on the percieved inteligence of its
targets.

I notice that organizations like the military that have studied what really
works develop cultures that build on the positive and motivate with words
like "outstanding"

Good luck and good flying! -c
