Subject: | Re: NICE (LONG) COMMANDER FLIGHT |
It's a "Kleenex" vs. "tissue" sort of thing - a trade name has been
incorporated into the everyday term for the object regardless of
manufacturer. ("Hoover" vs. "vacuum cleaner" for those in the UK)
Collins has the definition of:
bowser (n) 1. a tanker containing fuel aircraft, military vehicles, etc. 2.
Austral. and N.Z. a petrol pump at a filling station. [originally a U.S.
proprietary name, from S.F. Bowser, American inventor, who made the first
one in 1885]
Now the definition of 'petrol' is... no, just kidding.
Happy New Year, everyone. May this year be much better than last!
God bless,
Andrew

It has wheels and are either tugged around or driven around, looking for
aircraft that needs fuel.
Where does the word come from? Certainly British, but where in that corner?

Subject: | Fw: Happy New Year II |
Dan,
Obviously the ATP Lear Jet and the Col-East type folks were offended.
Apparently you should not have shared your "vast knowledge" and revealed
to all you are a wealthy white guy who is angry (perpetual at that) and
blaming everyone except for your fellow angry white guy buddies. (The
ability to discern someone's race, sustainability, sexual orientation,
net worth, and temperament from an e-mail posting is a gift some
liberals have. Contumely comes easy for some.)
Hopefully these two have helped you realize you should dumb it down a
little or at least wake up? It will help if you can adopt a new mantra,
"each according to his need". Just keep saying that over and over and
over again. Eventually you will feel better.
Hang in there - because those of us who know you - really like you! And
most of us agree with you!
Happy New Year!

It seems I might have offended a few individuals in my Happy New Year
posting. That was not my intention. In fact I was surprised at some of
the responses. So I reread my own posting and realized that I might
have overstated my thinking. I really should not have implied that
everyone who voted for the O is lazy, although I do believe most do want
some type of hand out or make the rich pay or tax the corporations or
feel this is just a mean and unfair country. Why would I think that?
Because that is what they are generally whaling about. Or perhaps
someone, even me, is just misguided.
I think that it might be possible that since I gave up my airline job
that I have too much time to think. Or possibly since my Dad passed
away and we are dealing with estate issues-like death taxes. Or maybe
it is that I have worked on this family farm with my dad, mother, and
two brothers most of my life. From the age of 5 I have had
responsibilities and expectations from my parents as to chores with
calves to feed, cows to milk, fields to be worked. Do not think I am
feeling sorry for myself as all the family worked hard and quite
honestly I would not trade with anyone. It is not that I mind liberals
throwing their money at ghost, feeling sorry for every person and
supporting every wacky cause that comes down the pike. Including most
of the latest bailouts. (Bush is no conservative) It is when they want
to take my property-at 55 percent and transfer it to someone who has not
earned it. I do not understand. It seems to me when you tax production
and subsidize contentment you get less production and more contentment.
I have tried not to assail any particular person but as usual I am
afraid the left does not like anyone to speak but them. They are use to
having the major net works and CNN and public radio and public
television in their court for most of our lives. They hate fox news and
shout down opposite views in many forums particularly in areas of higher
education. All the while railing about the lack of free speech. Now
watch as the left tries to bring back the "fairness" doctrine because
they cannot seem to bring forth a successful liberal talk show host.
I am sorry that I cannot speak with the same amount of love as the one
who calls me "the perpetually angry white wealthy guy". I confess I
am white and a guy and in this day of modern liberalism I probably am
suppose to apologize for that and if I were wealthy I would most
certainly be expected to apologize. This is really going to piss them
off, "I think there is equal amounts of scientific evidence on both

I will only say two more things.(sorry about the strike through but I
cant seem to get rid of it) I do not agree with many of the things GW
Bush has done but it has been 2665 days since we were attacked and I
think he has done very well in that regard. Even though he might have
violated the enemies privacy.
Finally, I have several liberal friends (ok 2) but my understanding of
your thinking is similar to looking at a person with emphasema on

Dan,
Obviously the ATP Lear Jet and the Col-East type folks were offended.
Apparently you should not have shared your "vast knowledge" and
revealed to all you are a wealthy white guy who is angry (perpetual at
that) and blaming everyone except for your fellow angry white guy
buddies. (The ability to discern someone's race, sustainability, sexual
orientation, net worth, and temperament from an e-mail posting is a gift
some liberals have. Contumely comes easy for some.)
Hopefully these two have helped you realize you should dumb it down a
little or at least wake up? It will help if you can adopt a new mantra,
"each according to his need". Just keep saying that over and over and
over again. Eventually you will feel better.
Hang in there - because those of us who know you - really like you!
And most of us agree with you!
Happy New Year!

Subject: Commander-List: Fw: Happy New Year II
It seems I might have offended a few individuals in my
Happy New Year posting. That was not my intention. In fact I was
surprised at some of the responses. So I reread my own posting and
realized that I might have overstated my thinking. I really should not
have implied that everyone who voted for the O is lazy, although I do
believe most do want some type of hand out or make the rich pay or tax
the corporations or feel this is just a mean and unfair country. Why
would I think that? Because that is what they are generally whaling
about. Or perhaps someone, even me, is just misguided.
I think that it might be possible that since I gave up
my airline job that I have too much time to think. Or possibly since my
Dad passed away and we are dealing with estate issues-like death taxes.
Or maybe it is that I have worked on this family farm with my dad,
mother, and two brothers most of my life. From the age of 5 I have had
responsibilities and expectations from my parents as to chores with
calves to feed, cows to milk, fields to be worked. Do not think I am
feeling sorry for myself as all the family worked hard and quite
honestly I would not trade with anyone. It is not that I mind liberals
throwing their money at ghost, feeling sorry for every person and
supporting every wacky cause that comes down the pike. Including most
of the latest bailouts. (Bush is no conservative) It is when they want
to take my property-at 55 percent and transfer it to someone who has not
earned it. I do not understand. It seems to me when you tax production
and subsidize contentment you get less production and more contentment.
I have tried not to assail any particular person but as
usual I am afraid the left does not like anyone to speak but them. They
are use to having the major net works and CNN and public radio and
public television in their court for most of our lives. They hate fox
news and shout down opposite views in many forums particularly in areas
of higher education. All the while railing about the lack of free
speech. Now watch as the left tries to bring back the "fairness"
doctrine because they cannot seem to bring forth a successful liberal
talk show host.
I am sorry that I cannot speak with the same amount of
love as the one who calls me "the perpetually angry white wealthy
guy". I confess I am white and a guy and in this day of modern
liberalism I probably am suppose to apologize for that and if I were
wealthy I would most certainly be expected to apologize. This is really
going to piss them off, "I think there is equal amounts of scientific
evidence on both sides of man made global warming.
I will only say two more things.(sorry about the strike
through but I cant seem to get rid of it) I do not agree with many of
the things GW Bush has done but it has been 2665 days since we were
attacked and I think he has done very well in that regard. Even though
he might have violated the enemies privacy.
Finally, I have several liberal friends (ok 2) but my
understanding of your thinking is similar to looking at a person with
emphasema on oxygen while smoking a cigerrett

************************************************************
******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *******
************************************************************
PLEASE READ. This document contains Commander-List policies and information
for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Commander-List policies will
minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Commander-List
running smoothly for all of us.
******************************************
*** Quick Start Guide to List Features ***
******************************************
There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each
one is described in detailed below. However, using the List Navigator
you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this
List. The List Navigator can be found at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Commander-List
****************************************
*** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe ***
****************************************
Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and
select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You
may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of
your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the
complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information.
The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is:
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption
process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request
was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed.
You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request.
The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post
until you receive the second conformation email message.
*****************************
*** How to Post a Message ***
*****************************
Send an email message to:
commander-list@matronics.com
Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed
to the List.
*****************************************************
*** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post ***
*****************************************************
When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message
is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the
email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor.
If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it
is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that
gets posted to the Lists.
Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important
with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook
or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be
functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM
test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List:
smith@machine.domain.com
smith@domain.com
Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure
your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to
the List.
**************************************
*** Enclosure Support on the Lists ***
**************************************
Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets
is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these
are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the
content of enclosures.
These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics
Lists:
1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists.
2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists.
3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.
4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.
5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.
6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:
bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls
All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk.
7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down
the process of posting the message !!
Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules
could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists.
1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files
you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there
are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post
30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
folks and the rest of us, for that matter.
2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just
unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.
Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows
you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically
scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it!
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Look for the link "Image Resizer"
3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not
post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even
questionable. !!
4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and
BE COURTEOUS!
Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where
you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server
for long time viewing and availability.
*******************
*** Digest Mode ***
*******************
Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended
to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:"
and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting
of a line of underscores.
Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be
combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list.
To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form
described above, and just select the Digest version of the List.
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable.
Now some caveats:
* Messages sent to "commander-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the
digest List.
* If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you
will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
the day.
* If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the
normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change
the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please
*do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*.
****************************
*** List Digest Browser ***
****************************
An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text
or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to
the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found
at the following location:
http://www.matronics.com/digest
*****************************************
*** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag ***
*****************************************
At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very
small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive
it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the
message:
do not archive
Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List
email distribution as normal.
**********************************************
***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes *****
**********************************************
Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced
email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly
removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving
messages from the Commander-List, go to the following Web page, and look
for your email address and a possible reason for your removal.
The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that
automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that
caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox
full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the
Lists you will find record of it at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed
If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel
free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice.

*** Realtime Web Email List Browsing ***
****************************************
Recent messages posted to the Commander-List are also made available on
the Web for realtime browsing. Seven days worth of back postings are
available with this feature. The messages can be sorted by Subject,
Author, Date, or Message Thread. The Realtime List Browser indexes are
updated twice per hour at xx:15 and xx:45. You can also reply to a message
or start a new message directly from the List Browser Interface (coming soon).

Browser Interface in view-mode.

*******************************************
*** Web Forums Bulletin Board Interface ***
*******************************************
A phpBB BBS web Forums front end is available for all Commander-List content.
content. The Forums contain all of the same content available via the email
distribution and found on the various archive viewing formats such as the
List Browse, etc. Any posts on the web Forums will be cross posted to the
respective email List, and posts to the Email List will be cross posted to
the web Forums.
You may view all List content on the Forums without any special login.
If you wish to post a message via the Web Forum interface, however, you
will need to Register. This is a simple process that takes only a few
minutes. A link to the Registration page can be found at the top of the
main web Forums page. Note that registering on the Forum web site also
enables you to send email posts to the Lists as well. You will also need to
Subscribe to the respective Email List as described above to receive the
Email Distribution of the List, however.

*********************************
*** Matronics Email List Wiki ***
*********************************
In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed
information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at:
http://wiki.matronics.com
The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information
for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page
where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki
permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately.
While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be
comfortable building pages. In that case, simply prepare the text and any
images and email it to:
wiki-support@matronics.com
One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct
a Wiki page for you.
Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the
Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that
post and convert it into a Wiki page.
*********************
*** List Archives ***

5) Multi-line, multi-paragraph description of topic.
6-x) One-line Description of each photo or file

great gifts!

**********************************
*** List Support Contributions ***
**********************************
The Matronics Lists are run *completely* through the support of it members.
You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of
annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages
associated with the Matronics Email Lists. Every year during November
I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month,
I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they
are comfortable.
I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the
Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated
by companies that are themselves List members.
Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists
including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server
system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many
many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the
variety of services found here.
Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary
and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains
value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude.
Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just
subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in.
The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are
a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and
sending a personal check.
If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to
support its continued operation?

Commander-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Commander-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Commander-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Commander-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Commander-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
