I'm The Guy You're Talking Junk About!

[avbug]

Really aggravating...a few years ago I walked into the office of a small rural FBO. A government pilot was there waiting for some passengers. We talked for a few minutes, five or so about nothing in particular. Out of the blue, he said, "are you avbug?" I said, "Who?" He said "avbug, from flightinfo."

I had to scratch my head. I said yes, I post under that screen name, but it's been a long time since anybody's actually called me that. I asked him what made him think of that...he said he didn't know, but apparently I'm the same in person. I've had five or six people out of the blue say that in FBO's here and there.

I've had a couple of disgruntled posters list my name and even personal information on the net before. Usually they get it wrong in some form or another...but your'e right, it's not hard...and it's not really important.

Let's be honest...does anybody care who I am? Criminey...I don't even care. I can't imagine it's that important to anyone else.

Avbug... It's kinda like working that piece of tale at the hotel bar and then finding out you have to fly at 6 a.m. rather than noon. You'll just never know.. for sure. It's the chase of the game. It's the legend and the lure. Kinda like Duke Ellington. You could never live up to the legend that people have set in their mind about who you are. But you are who they want to be.

aLear31pilot, are you ok today man? You are posting weird stuff...

Put that stuff down already, or at least share it!

Immolation or self immolation has to suck big time, but I can appreciate the humor. Flame on!

If I knew what that meant... I'd be happy or sad. I don't, so I'll watch the little guy start fires for a few more hours. Makes me want to go buy some matches for old times sake and burn things in the ashtray.

I've been called out many times. One member here once sent me a PM listing all my information (which he got from the FAA airman database, I assume) essentially bragging that he was able to deduce this stuff about me. It's no big deal. If someone is so desperate to know that stuff about me, a quick survey of my prior posts will probably reveal whatever they'd want to know. Of course, it'd likely be easier to just ask me. I don't have anything to hide.

For that reason, I'm careful what I say here. Essentially, I have a policy to not post anything I wouldn't want my friends, and especially my employer, to know.

I know a few folks around here, and their posts here reflect their everyday personalities...for better or worse.

Personally, I'm much more reserved and diplomatic in person. Most who know me wouldn't believe I could get so worked up as some of my posts would suggest.

Although the users on this board I'm sure, attempt to remain anonymous, have you ever wondered if someone has pinpointed or discovered your identity.

I use an obscure screen name and rarely reveal details about my experience or position. I figure as long as nobody knows my name or where I work I can say anything I want and never have to take responsibility for my words.


















If I had a nickel for every time I've heard, "Oh, so YOU"RE the TonyC!" ...



... the TonyC?!?!?

If I ever run into Fred I'msure I'll call him TonyC...

It's weird, you sometimes see certain pilots while on the road and wonder if you'd talked to them here.

For example, any time I see a chick in a pilot's uniform get out of a CJ, I wonder if it's English.

English is female? I didn't know that.

Do that. Skip the ashtray.

I call it "Job Security."

Well, I may be wrong! Boy would *that* be a surprise if I make it back home to Socal.

If I had a nickel for every time I plucked a nickel out the loafers of one of your guys napping in the crew room, I'd have two nickels each time. But don't tell anybody!
