Off topic a bit but I got a bit hyped up due to the F-18 and ended up buying the M2000C. Figured it would be a 1 or more until I could get it (waiting for a discount + patches) and I wanted a new plane. Wish it had more missiles but it is fairly simple to use for combat! Not bad if you're coming from FC3. I just need to figure out how to use the flare / chaff and ECM.
Seems I've attracted a fan (in the truest sense of the word). I'd almost be flattered, if it wasn't such creepy behaviour.
On the bright side, he thinks you look like someone else and that you live on a different continent.
Ah throwing a pinch of fish food In the thread In support of the ED cause. Nate's posts here at SimHQ is kind of like the fish tanks you have in your house. To break this reply down in a way that your simple mind can understand what is being written here.....Nate's posts can be compared to the grime that grows over your fish tank filter holes. However the difference between what Nate writes here and what status he used to hold over at the ED forums is that I....yes at times, can tolerate what Nate says here at SimHQ.....It is like having a few Epalzeorhynchos in the tank that feed off the slime build up. Although it can be a nuisance most of the time...it is still vital to the overall ecology system to keep the tank healthy.
What you post here on the other hand, is going overboard and blocking the tank filter completely therefore ruining the ecology system.

Not to be confused with adding too much chlorine to the ecology and killing any productive discourse.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Who adds chlorine to a fish tank?? you obviously have no idea when it comes to live breeding....like when you comment on something here at SimHQ on a post that you have no idea about. destilled water is essential for the eco system....think of my posts here as distilled water and your own as tap water when commenting on the Eco system.
Aren't the small rocks at the bottom called minerals?
No, they are called rocks or gravel. The colored ones are coated with epoxy and others are made of quartz which, in either case, means that they will not alter the pH or Hardness of your water. There are limestone based gravels but they are only suitable for certain species of fish which can tolerate extremely hard and alkaline water.

Can you not use distilled water and just pop in a few mineral tablets?
You will get better mineral content from most tap water with an additive to remove chlorine and ammonia.

Thank you so much for illustrating my point. I wasn't talking about live breeding, but making a point by building on your analogy. The point is that some people on this forum (and yes, based on your reply you can include yourself in this list) choose to attack the poster rather than debating the content of the post. This includes attempts to discredit a person based on perceived or actual standing with Eagle Dynamics, e.g. labeling a person's opinion as suspect because the person was once a beta tester or moderator. To say that a person must agree with ED because they are a tester/moderator is like saying that I agreed with the President when I was in the military. In reality (and in fact, more often than not) I disagreed with the President, but I maintained a required level of decorum by not discussing politics in front of my troops or commenting on my opinions in public.
But this is beside the point. You choose to attack a person (Nate in this case) instead of arguing against his points. This only causes people to stop posting, and others who don't want to sift through 10 pages of diatribes to find useful information to look at other forums. Say what you want about ED's moderating (and I have posted some significant criticism of it in the past), but at least I can usually find what I'm looking for both in breadth of content as well as ease of finding. So I guess adding too much chlorine to a tank kills fish. Who knew?
