Deleted Posts

I've deleted all the posts referring to a certain troll who was not denied access after "she" was confirmed an imposter by MarkH. By posting links to where "she" posted somewhere else, people are only cicumventing by denial of "her" account.  It effectively has allowed "her" to get "her" message in.  I know these big arguments with trolls are fun, but they are a waste of disk space and only take up room that otherwise useful posts from real people would take.

I don't mind off-topic posts and casual banter, but I hate to give the trolls any bandwidth here.  It's been a multi-year struggle with these people and we've finally gotten to the point where we've won the war.  Let's keep it that way please.

A troll provides no useful information and their only goal is to start fights.  If someone is real, and has a real beef with this, even if it's a pissed-off American woman, I don't mind them here as long as things can remain civil.  But when people pretend to be something they're not, the discussion is meaningless.

Download and use the Opera browser (www.opera.com).

Not only does it disallow pop-ups - it is vastly faster than either MS Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Try it - you'll like it.

I downloaded Opera and it's great! I really like the way it handles bookmarks, etc, and it really IS fast! I dumped MSIE after reading this:

and went back to Netscape, but the new versions are AO(hell) and the 4.X versions slow and unreliable.

No wonder you're so much poorer than me. You'll never have your own personal jet if you keep that up. ;-)

who want to time share. They wear these funny white hats and call each other Mahammad and Ali. I do not speak Spanish but I guess this guy Allah is going to be doing much of the flying. They keep mentioning him. When I ask them how they were at landing they assured me Allah would get them home safely. So, if you have any ideas-these guys seem to have big bucks-they must work all night driving those Taxi cabs. They are so friendly!

On ebay they are auctioning off one of the 2 prototypes of the Soviet space capsules or whatever it is. I was actually looking to buy a plane-after I get my pilots license and a GUN. I am getting my license though. So as the deaf man said to the blind man-keep an eye out for me!

..Oh yeah, their "spam in a can" things. My L39C was made over there too, its still used for training in some of the eastern block countries. Bullet Launchers...lol. Yeah, looks like we may get to have them after all, I'll believe it when I see it. (Personally, I'm against it. Doesn't make me popular with my colleages.)

Hopefully that moron Dubya will stop it, he is actually thinking right for once. I've learned too much from my LE days to go along with it. Besides, there are fewer unstable people in the world (lol, other than MOB men) than some of my bretheren. It'll just be a mechanical extension of their penises in my opinion.

Btw, I'll quit and start flippin burgers the day *you* get certificated. ;-)

Did you and your wife file AOS in San Francisco?
I am curious as to the time line they told you, we have not heard anything since we filed in February except to go in to get my wife fingerprinted.

Hmmm...me thinks you be a tad befuddled, although I can see how. If you had read my previous posts with more care you would understand I have no need to deal with our fine gum'mint at this time. (At least as it relates to the INS.) The truth is that other than filing a K1 (which was easier than most), I was not required to suffer the nonsense you're dealing with as she had already made the trip. In fact, been here for almost seven years.

How can that be? More confused? If ya think about it too hard, blood will come shootin outta your nose. ;-)

Email me if you want the basics: L39driver@hotmail.com.

...best wishes for the future. And thanks for the confidence and understanding.

These deals are often a crap shoot because of the reasons I stated, but in your case me thinks Anna did pretty darn well. ;-)
