However, two things to consider.

1) First off there are as many people that come on these forums and can offer the polar opposite opinion and tell you from experience that it is still possible, while it may take some luck it can happen.

2) I also think that the truth is most of the people who can tell you that the possibilities are there don't sit here wasting there time like he does trying to convince people to jump ship. They are sitting at home with a smile on their face watching sportscenter on their plasma enjoying life and don't even know a forum such as this exists.

My only criticism of the man is that I think he's pretty pathetic that he has nothing better to do with his life than come on here and berate us with such pessimism, that in my opinion speaks leaps and bounds as to the type of person he is.

Why it's great to have someone like him around, for me at least, is that every time he goes on one of his rants it simply motivates me a little more to prove him wrong.

My efforts here are a fun little hobby. A monentary deversion in my day. I believe in what I write and enjoy wordsmithing my points as colorfully as I can. Most of it is intended as dry humor with a lot of truth thrown in. I know that many of you think of me as a hideous troll who likes fun busting others. Honestly my aim is to rudely rub some reality in your face once in a while. Polite comments will bounce off since I know how deeply stupefying an aviation addiction can be.

I am glad they you use me as a motivator. Be cautioned that if things go wrong my words of warning will burn in your mind for many years to come.

At least you can go forth with an "I told you so".
