Fire Fly Bob made an interesting comment which was something we experienced at New York's La Guardia doing a LOC about two years ago into a normal big, busy airport. Right when we were about to level off at MDA, Approach Control (some guy) suddenly blurted on the radio something that was not important, but they made it sound so d****d serious, just an RVR update (did not matter to us on the final approach segment, and too busy!)! We went over 50' below MDA and got right back up. What was their problem?! THAT CLOWN better not ever do that again.

If any LaGuardia ATC types don't like my remarks-that's their problem.
