Why airplanes fly

The military guys may not get paid much, but at least they're not PAYING. I'd wager the average fighter pilot monthly salary would not pay for the gas the pilot uses on a single flight -- let alone the maintenance. Even for a couple of flights! Well, sheet. Some people are just smarter than others. |

Mxsmanic, That is a very concise and accurate statement and a good generalized response to a layperson asking the question "how do airplanes fly?". I see no reason for all of the snide comments from others. I commend you for continuing to post in these newsgroups in spite of the harassment you have been subject to. Art Varrassi CP-ASEL KADS - Addison, TX Damned sock puppet. That's what you are. |

Fjukwit or not. Anyway I left him and the other simmers a missive on .aviation.simulation. Questions for them, for once. |

wrote The truth is without M the whole thing wouldn't be as fun. I don't agree, and in a BIG way. I don't come here for conflict. I don't come here to listen to stupidity. I don't come here to witness mental sickness conditions. If you want that, go to big time wrestling shows. I'm sure there are other places where you can witness senseless arguments. This is not the place. Simply put, this is a place for people to talk about flying, and aspects of aviation. The current crop of loons are not interested in serious discussion of such. Neither are the people that egg them on. There should be no place for that, here. The quality of the discussions here has diminished by a factor of ten. So have the quantity of people with real experiences to give input to the discussions. If this continues much longer, the group will be without value. Some would say, perhaps rightfully so, that it already has fallen to that point. If you want conflict and see worms getting squished, please go elsewhere, and leave the discussion of aviation to people that prefer to discuss aviation, and not loons and kooks. -- Jim in NC |

Eliminating Trolls (again)
The quality of the discussions here has diminished by a factor of ten. So
have the quantity of people with real experiences to give input to the discussions. I agree 100% Jim. But I have a simple solution. 1. Use a newsreader like "Windows Mail" or "Outlook Express". As much as I liked the search powers of Google Groups, their lack of any sort of filtering reduced this newsgroup to chaos. I have therefore abandoned GGs. 2. With three keystrokes, you can create a killfile that utterly eliminates every post by anyone you so designate as persona non grata. I was two steps out the door from this group before rediscovering newsreaders. Now, I only see the "good stuff" again, and the trolls can do their continual verbal circle-jerk in complete anonymity, for all I care. Of course, the sad part is that this has all become necessary. Killfiles weren't necessary for the first 9 years I was on this group, but when a small-but-determined group of trolls with (seemingly endless) time on their hands takes a hankering to a group, it's obvious that they can destroy it pretty easily. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Yep, and the quantity of quality posts has dropped by such a large factor, I would not even know where to place the number. Seems many people just took a hike, rather than put up with it. I don't blame them, and have to wonder how much longer I will be a regular. Speaking of missing regulars, what's up with Montblack? Is he taking a break, or does anyone know what became of him? -- Jim in NC |
