I'm curious

[Krusty]

Keep the insults to yourself Dolby.

Mk84, I was NOT being a jerk. Trust me on that. You asked a basic intro-level question that can easily be answered with even cursory internet searching or reading any book that comments on aviation design.

Mace went far above and beyond the call of duty to really spell it out like that. Kudos to him, but he shouldn't have to for the really basic questions.


You'd have got the same response had you asked "How do I start my engine?" in the Aces High chat buffer.

Which is just as ridiculous. It takes very little to just answer the question.

For the  record I dont know you from Adam but  your 1st post was  kinda jerkish. Yes I'm sure that the  info is out on the nets  and if the op had  looked for it, the info may not  have  been in such easy to understand  and  well written language. Just because you feel  like this  thread should not have been posted  doesnt mean everyone on the bbs  agrees with you or  your need  to point out  that yes you can find  pretty much any info  on the web but yes  it may actually be  quicker and  simpler to just asking  someone who  know that info  off the top of thier head. Now stop  trying to ebully people  for  asking questions   on a forum (even tho thats  what a  forum is   for, discussions and  such)


Mace thank you for a well written post. I actually enjoyed reading it.

Fine. So be it. You're right I could have been softer in tone, even though my point was valid.

I'm sorry if I came off as a jerk.

just saying sometimes it's quicker to ask. Some info is  very simple  and should be common knowledge in your opinion but the  fact  of the matter is  some of us that play this game(yes its  a game) dont  know  as  much  as  others about  aerodynamic principles. Like me I just play the  game.Granted  not  knowing  every principle and in and out of each plane puts me at disadvantage but I still have fun, but thats neither here nor there, point is not everybody that play's AH knows  where to begin looking for  info or can  fully comprehend what they do find(like me). Im not  dumb as  a  rock  but I know I aint the  sharpest marble  so I can appreciate when someone like Mace comes along and  posts  something I could  understand  without me having to go find  a  book  on the subject then having to read that book with a  thesaurus and dictionary near by.

You're right. Sorry MK84.

[Nathan60]

You're right. Sorry MK84.

Thats  a rare sight  on  this BBS.  +100 Krusty

[MK-84]

You're right. Sorry MK84.

No prob at all

I do very much value your posts, which is why I guess I was a bit miffed by your response.

I also should have explained what I was looking for better, But I really did get the answer I was looking for, I just didn't know how to ask the question.

Sorry to offend you. But you do come across a particular way on this BBS.
