Plus one. In all fairness I was exactly the same when I started. I already knew how everything was going to go, I already knew everything and found the opposing views difficult to hear. This forum is littered with my unhelpful assumptions.
Since passing I have met so many helpful and intelligent people and now with a bit of perspective can offer much more rounded advice, thanks to the the time and patience others have shown me. Eternally grateful.
It's probably made me a better pilot as well.
The only problem with the online forum is the difficulty in assessing tone of the words typed.
