"Dudley Henriques" dhenriques@noware .net wrote in message . net... Might I suggest you try attaching something once in a while to indicate you mean humor. It's allowed in the response you know......Usenet protocol and all that :-)) See what I mean? Doesn't hurt a bit!! I don't use smilies. If you have to tell your audience when to laugh your humor has missed the mark. |

"Jose" wrote in message om... Not the situation originally discussed, but suppose a non-pilot (who perhaps reads a lot and plays flight sim) acts as an instructor for a pilot who wants to learn something about flying from him. What that might be I will leave to your imagination. The pilot is current and rated in the aircraft, and acts as PIC. The passenger is being paid to instruct, the instruction is not logged. Is the non-pilot paid instructor "flying for hire"? Yup. |

Your quote was incorrect as I have stated. You attritubed the entire
statement to me, which is incorrect. Under your heading "Dudley Henriques said", you include the entire McNichol quote, then my two word response "Forget it." Please do not include what other people say leading up to a response, then add the response under a single heading. This is a Usenet 101 no no, and I personally don't like what Steven McNichol says being attributed to me at ANY time!.

With all due respect, here is the follow-up article you, Dudley Henriques, posted: From: "Dudley Henriques" dhenriques@noware .net Newsgroups: rec.aviation.piloting Subject: CFI without commercial? Message-ID: t Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2005 23:22:57 GMT "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message .net... "Dudley Henriques" dhenriques@noware .net wrote in message . net...

Doesn't hurt a bit!! I don't use smilies. If you have to tell your audience when to laugh your humor has missed the mark. Forget it. If one notes the attribution lines ('wrote in') and the nested indents (''), it's quite clear, that you, Dudley Henriques, posted a two word follow-up to McNicoll's two sentences, and that you included McNicoll's two sentences in that follow-up article. Please do not include what other people say leading up to a response, then add the response under a single heading. Above you, Dudley Henriques, accuses Montblack of what you in fact did in your own follow-up article. Ironic. You included text you wrote, McNicoll's response, and finally your two word response to that. Such nested attributions are exceedingly ubiquitous in Usenet follow-up articles. The included text provides a context for the statement(s) made in the follow-up article(s). This is a Usenet 101 no no, Including attributed text in follow-up articles with nested indents is not a 'no no.' It is a common, but perhaps cumbersome, and even confusing mechanism for the Usenet naive, that provides context. and I personally don't like what Steven McNichol says being attributed to me at ANY time!. Dudley Henriques I feel your pain. :-) But, because that didn't happen, you should be happy. What Montblack did was omit the attribution line indicating that McNicoll said the part behind the double indent marks (). However, it is still quite clear to an experienced Usenet reader, that Montblack did not attribute McNicoll's statement to you, Dudley Henriques, by virtue of the nested double indent marks (). Despite Montblack's omission of McNicoll's attribution line, Montblack's attribution was correct in indicating that you, Dudley Henriques, had included McNicoll's text in your article, and thus had 'said' what McNicoll said by quoting him. So I think the lesson here is to include the necessary _attribution_ -lines_ as well as the indent marks when including text from a previous article. (Please don't flame me for attempting to explain the precise nature of the complaint and my deliberate use of antecedents to overcome pronoun ambiguity.) |

(Please don't flame me for attempting to explain the precise nature of the complaint and my deliberate use of antecedents to overcome pronoun ambiguity.) I'm not going to flame you, and I'm aware of the indents. The problem is that many of the people who read Usenet never get into these things this deeply and only react to the words printed in front of them on the screen. Although you might be technically correct in what you are saying, to include statements made by two people from different posts under one heading that plainly mentions just one of the quoted people by name, and then going pedantic with a highly detailed explanation and justification because double indents were used is ducking the issue. You can be technically correct and win the battle on the technically correct issue, but lose the war on the INTENT issue. If you're intent is to be a lawyer, you are correct. If your intent is common sense, and the reality of the actual impression this procedure leaves on people, then you are in no way serving the intent, which is to CLARIFY. Personally, I avoid people who will take statements from TWO people and place them together under a heading that plainly gives the impression that what was said was said by one person mentioned by name in the heading. Let me put it this way. You can be technically right. Montblank can be technically right. But I will avoid both of you in any post I make on Usenet because you are playing games with my name under a pedantic litany of technicality that involves something I believe the average reader would miss when reading something attributed to me that I did not say. It's THAT simple! In my opinion, if indents are to be used to separate two individuals in a quoted text involving both individuals, BOTH people should be named in the "said" heading; not one. This being done, the indents then serve their useful purpose as a separator. Naming only one individual, then using a double indent that can easily be missed is both misleading and disingenuous.
