Then you haven't re-read the thread as I asked.

The point of which is?  Why did you feel you needed to start this thread?  Why did you choose a rather insulting subject title?

Because you are a POS, a person with a sad physcological problem, stemming from an anger driven by envy and hate.

Too bad you won't seek out the therapy and counseling that might make you a better person, and a happier one who doesnt feel the need to start insulting or condesending threads to  feel better about yourself, and you can maybe also get help with your drinking.

certainly did.   creamo, as you pointed out, responds to aircraft threads and especialy maintenance ones.   He responds to any thread with a fairly predictable manner.   you seem to realize but seem not to at the same time with your conflicted post.

blue probly bit the hardest and everyone else just seemed to be either pointing out facts or joking.

seems most were laughing at beetle and... if you call yourself his first mate... you too.   The only person(s)who seemed offended and defensive were you and blue.

beetle has a history of taking jabs at Americans every chance he gets.  No point  to it, nothing positive comes from it, it just serves his sad agenda.  The fact is that his continuing to start these type of threads speak very poorly of him, and do not reflect well on his family and country.

I suspect he was raised by parents who belittled him as a child, resulting in his need to attempt to belittle others in a vain manner to feel better about himself.

That, and the fact that he has probably been drinking again when he starts this crap.

Curval,

The simple point is this:  You claim to "know beetle" because you've had a few pints with him.  Well, that doesn't seem to be doing the trick here.  Pretty much everyone disagreeing with you has met him too.

Try something a bit different: read his posts.

I suspect anyone who has socialized with him found him wanting to share some pints.  Many of them.

Very good point Mini D, challenge curval to actually pay attention to beetles threads and posts, see if he has the objectivity to see the truth.

She told you she wanted you too?  I think she just had a thing for Americans.

I can one-up all you suckers.  Not only have I shared a drink with Beet1e, he's also kissed me.  Therefor, I know him best, and also, he's gay.  But, he IS a brit, so I guess we knew that already.  After the smooch, he secretly confessed to me that he doesn't really know watermelon about the U.S. except as a foreigner and based only on his limited experience in the U.S. as a foreigner.  He also confessed that he owns every Spice Girls album ever produced and that he thinks Sporty Spice is "dreamy".
Three Times One Minus One.  Dayum!

I haven't read any other replies yet, but I have been following this crash investigation (much the same way as AAL587) and so far the focus is on the control rigging for the elevator.

They were improperly rigged and did not give the pilots the ability to use full deflection of that control surface.  There was a bit of an aft CG (Center of Gravity) but it was within the airplane's load limits.  To see if this was something that would be considered 'easily noticable' the investigation took some very experienced pilots in the airplane and had them do a walk-around of the airplane which had been rigged (intentionally) the same way.  I don't remember the numbers, but you could count on one hand the number of pilots that thought there was a problem with the way it was set up.

There have been a lot of issues (I think it's laughable that the average American with clothing, especially in winter, is 170 lbs) regarding weight of passengers.  Even if overweight due to the passengers, overload percentage (in terms of pounds, how many % overweight it is) was small enough that if the rigging wasn't faulty, nothing would have happened.

Why'd a brit post this anyway as though he's making fun of Americans?  Low.  People died in this accident, and it's not their fault.
