Thanks BRL,
I'll stick with the Flyer forum and hope that others catch on to the "ignore" idea. My hope with posting here is to advertise that policy and hasten the retreat of the trolls.
Vizsla - I hope we can sort it out ourselves too. My hope was that other Flyer posters could have a quiet discussion of the matter here and agree to ignore the troll - at the moment he is getting too much "food". I agree that Flyer attracts the less experianced PPLs. Perhaps their questions are naiive, but it is good that they have a place they can feel confidant to post "silly" questions and (usually) get reasonable replies - so I think that Flyer compliments pprune rather than competes with it. As the saying (and a recent Flyer post) goes - there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.
Here's hoping that the adults on Flyer catch on to the idea that the best way to treat attention seaking children is to ignore them.
