• Through a facination with flight and history buys a boxed sim and loves it.
• Learns how to fly, how to beat AL and buys another..

• Goes online and discovers flying vs. real people...he SUCKS
• At this point he either:
• Quits and goes back to the box
• Learns how to fight real people
• Joins a squad
• Time passes ( may vary )
• Becomes bored...
• Clammers for more realism, flys less
• Flys still less, starts telling others how to fly ( for the "greater good" )
• Flys rarely now, gets into FM's, ballistics, graphic anomolies and things "wrong" with....( for the "greater good" )
• Convinces himself that everyone else is an idiot, a "quaker" that don't have a clue..
• Time passes
• Nobody listens..quits flying all together
• Drops in occasionally to share wisdom[/list=A]
  
  OR...

  Subject A is a legend in his own negativity. ( not from this board ) Subject B is alot of us.
  
  Watching over the years the "realists" tend to burn out much quicker than the "fun" guys..
  
  Quite a few greybeard "fun" guys around.. along with a handful of oldtime "realists"..
