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

[bigD]

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!

So that was YOU!!???

NYC:
I'm a richer man knowing that...

But I'm worried about you now.

I am too!

There's nothing wrong with butting heads on here...some people take this posting thing too seriously. I'd go to lunch or have a brew with anyone on here.

The important thing, is what you take away from here. What I mean by that is, if there is a debate and you go research the debate on your own and form a better insight on the subject matter, you've learned something. It doesn't really matter that we butt heads for 35 pages of posts.

I agree with you, this is what youmake of it, and if youtake it too seriously, maybe youneed to get a life.

There's an old saying about being nice to one's first officer because at the next airline. . .

Avbug is they guy who lives next to Tim on "Home Improvement"! Wilson! The guy who knows something about everything and you only see half of his face over the fence. That's who you remind me of!

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.

My CP and I just had dinner with a crew we met via Flightinfo. We had a great talk over some amazing BBQ.

That was the 7th time in the past few months I've shared a meal with pilots from this board and I'm having breakfast with another one tomorrow.

Darn,

Maybe I shouldn't have used my FAA ID photo as my avitar...

Perfect analogy!

I'll vote for that and no, you can't have my red swingline stapler.

Give it to me or I will burn the place down.

Yep, I knew Avbug. In fact, he mentioned an interaction we had once here on Flightinfo. Funny thing was, when I figured it out, I sent him a PM, and he never replied.

I used to talk with him before he departed (we had different jobs), and enjoyed talking with someone who liked avaition, and just wasn't bitter about work.

One thing got me though, he told a story I swear I had read once in an aviation rag. Not that he wasn't the author, but it's possible he was relating a story he had read years ago, and thought he wouldn't be caught. I've always had my eye out for that story since....

Hey Avbug, any progress beyond the tail kit? Mine arrived a few weeks ago...

PS. I do think there is some value to anonymous posting, and will respect his obvious desire not to be called out..

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

Hey! You outed me!

 

[siucavflight]

Of course it was easy to figure out who you are, we even gave out the tail # N888BW. What ever happened with that phone call?

 

[I.P. Freley]

I have disclosed my identity to several of my coworkers. It's not like it's a big secret or something. It doesn't bother me to have other people know who I am.

Exactly. Most people I have worked with over the last couple of years know who I am on here... And another guy I just worked with figgered out that I was on here because my PC's wallpaper is the same as my old avatar.

I even managed to get back in touch with an old college buddy when he read a bunch of my posts and decided that it just HAD to be me (even though he had no idea what I'd been up to, where I worked, etc.)... Sent me a PM and that's how we got to play catch-up after 5 or 6 years.
