Typical on PPRuNe....
some people can’t live without trying their best to find something, anything wrong with what others pilots say or do.
A bit like this really:
How many pilots does it take to change a nav light?
1 to change the nav light and to post that the nav light has been
changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing nav lights and how the nav light could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing nav lights
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing nav lights
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "navlight" or "nav light"
... another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is
"position light"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "nav
light" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about nav lights and to please take
this discussion to a navlight forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use nav
lights and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing nav lights is superior, where to buy the best nav lights, what brand of nav lights work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different nav lights
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to
this group which makes nav lights relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the nav light controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on nav lights before posting questions about nav lights"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
