Hey Jaxass, read your post and follow through to his. I see TWO (2) very

ah, now I see the problem shen. you don't know what the English word

not enough years in high school for you, shen. you should have stayed a few

Nah...Jax is like a squid. Whenever he sees a question he disappears
in a cloud of ink to cover his retreat A useful trait for a squid,
which are edible, but who would really want to catch a Jaxfish,
anyway?

Jax, you must be the most stupid individual who has ever managed to connect
his computer to Usenet. Otn asked you the following *question*.
==============================
"How the hell did you think anyone plotted an RDF bearing
if they didn't "align" it with the compass?"

==============================

Are you able to answer his question? Or are you really dumb enough to think
that we will be bamboozled by your lame attempts at a smokescreen?

Otn asked a question. There was no hint of pontification at all in his
question. Why don't you answer him?


BTW, I've asked you a question. I didn't pontificate.

actually, donny, I just did an explanation of how radio compasses worked and
how to figure accuracy of output so as to not hit the granite ledges off a fog
bound Maine coast.

you can go look it up, if you wish. particularly if there is potential you
might some day actually sail and sail a big ocean all the way left, and do it
on a boat without gazillions of electronic thingies onboard.

the thread is interesing in at least one respect because we had one poster
here, jeffies I believe it was, who claimed to have used a paper sextant in the
fog to tell his position. not sure how he kept the paper from falling apart in
the moisture, but he said it worked just fine. This he knew because he didn't
hit any granite ledges.

Did you have anything to contribute? Eh, Jax?

are you really dumb enough to think
that we will be bamboozled?

Answer to your question:

I don't believe you have the capability to keep a single thought in your head
long enough to be bambozzled. I believe that even if I were so inclined it
would be waste of effort to even try.
