On a personal note it seems that your spring-loaded to the attack position and that you come on entirely too strong. If you are the same with your peers and your subordinates I pity them if they come up with a hare brained idea that may or may not work or, if they make a mistake.
Nick sez:
Lu, it is not a "mistake" to obstinately continue your pedantic attacks, and it is not a "mistake" to assert that helicopters glow in the dark (!!!!) It is the height of foolishness.
You are off the wall and basically a crackpot, with ideas and interpretations that are just short of bizarre. You failed to see the sarcasm in my statement that in the hundreds of hours in desert countries there must have been too much humidity.
Exactly where do you get off launching such pronouncements, and how do you expect to retain a shred of credibility when you take off that way? I also KNOW that once you write something, it is carved in stone, and only someone's cousin's brother's instructor who once told you that absurdity is to blame.
If I had a subordinate who spoke as you do, dug into absurd points as you do, and who simply could not learn, as you can't - I'd fire him without a second thought.
