Why don't you try to avoid posting to travel newsgroups?

That's a neat way of describing squeezing your joystick.


There's no squeeze function on the joystick.

The ability to find the squeeze function on the joystick is directly
correlated with intelligence.

Yes, it's a real simulator.

Nope. It's a game player, numbnuts.

Unless there are planes out there where the sensory
experience is limited to a small computer screen and some burring noise
coming out of speakers.

In most large aircraft, sensory experiences are not highly relevant, and in
all aircraft, sensory experiences are not very reliable.

You're an idiot, and know nothing about actual flying, numbnuts.

pilots), and a significant number of the controllers are also real-life
controllers.

And your proof for this is ... ?

In the former case, explain it; in the latter case, admit it.

In the former case, **** off; in the latter case, you're an idiot.

How could you possibly know any of that? By your own recent admission, you
don't like travelling and haven't flown in years. Playing a Microsoft game
in an overheated broom cupboard in Paris doesn't magically turn you into a
latter-day Howard Hughes.


He is trying to emulate him.

By bypassing the wealthy phase and going directly the crazy shut-in
phase?

It's time what's his name?, who made the original simulate a human being called

I think the whole program should be deleted, as a benefit to others.
It was obviously a colossal mistake.

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.

The internal survey conducted by the network of its members.

And their method of confirming that the survey answers were accurate
is ... ? Or that the internal survey results were accurately reported?
