Rubik and anyone else. Don't worry about this guy - he turns up on other aviation forums at times under the name "Contrail". All he does is make belittling remarks about the UK, the royal family and other aspects of the nation. He never comes back with any sort of reasoned response to comment and criticism. You're all wasting your time with these otherwise fine responses. I have a feeling he's Canadian actually, not American and certainly not British.
