I posted this at the end of the other thread !

A few years ago I was involved with a forum for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I did some development work with addon companies, wrote reviews and was fairly active in their forums.

The problem with all these forums is that they are open to a lot of people who hide behind a cloak and claim to be something they are not.

There was one guy in particular who challenged the real world pilots on those forums and fair enough some of the stuff he came up with was quite convincing.

But in other ways his approach was very purile and he made major blunders.
We discovered that this experienced so called pilot was infact a 12 year old kid who was merrily googling his answers on the internet and somehow getting a kick by playing out his act. He fooled a lot of airline and corporate pilots for some time.
