Well, that's not "no affiliation" but that's also a perfectly good reason to endorse them. Maybe next time instead of calling me a jackass you can say "Hey, it may not sound like the coolest thing in the world, but I was a former customer, and aside from enjoying his company, I have to say that I really learned a lot from having an 18000 hour A&P instructor engineer looking over my shoulder and essentially giving me free instruction." Had you put it like that, I would have said "You know, you're right, I'm sorry that I put down something that wasn't familiar to me." and we could have avoided that whole boring rant from me.

And speaking as a person who would defend "my" Mom and Pop FBO (I use the term literally) to the death, I am sorry if I offended you.

EDIT:
Oh, and maybe we can all learn from this and not jump down people's throats and/or insult something that we have little or no knowledge over? These forums would be a lot more constructive without people being sarcastic jackasses like me.
