Generally from what he has written largely the answer is no. I don't know Fred's resume, but I get the impression he is VERY experienced in the field of aerospace. However, that being said, yes from time to time he has vented his exasperation with people publicly. That people take offense is their prerogative, but as for Fred and the many many many threads I've seen him respond to, it kind of goes along him taking exception to arguments that roughly go along these lines: "I make the argument that it is impossible to kill yourself playing so-called "Russian Roulette". I have personally tried it with a revolver up to five times without result. Therefore the law of mathematical induction backs me up." It is to Fred's credit that he would argue strongly against that kind of "science". Would you prefer Fred suggest they try one more attempt? Dave |

Calling them 'names' based on what they post does no such thing. -- You are What you do When it counts. |
