I hate to travel

So why do you repeatedly post to travel newgroups?



He loves to be hated?


It's one of the few things at which he succeeds.


Mixi's goal in life is to subtract from the sum total of human knowlege.
He tries valiently with each post he makes to achieve his goal. But, like
everything else he's ever done, he fails.

It isn't "forced teaming," numbnuts.


Forced teaming occurs when you try to group others with yourself without any
obvious reason for doing so, in order to increase your own apparent
credibility or acceptance. Many people use the technique consciously or
unconsciously, sometimes for the purpose of manipulating others.

Incorrect. A number of us agree.


And a number don't, so "we" gives the false impression of a consensus.

I checked with the lurkers and 84 per cent of them agree with DGS. So "we"
seems to be an accurate descriptor.

And you, Anthony, are the perfect example. Still trying to group yourself
with those who know about flying when you don't know **** from shinola

Interesting in the loops and rolls, is you did not notice any increase in G
force.


Of course not, where did I say it simulated G forces? I dont understand why
so many people cant accept MSFS for what it is. It isnt a game, its a
simulation. It doesnt simulate physical forces. It isnt a pro simulator.
Why is that so hard to accept?
