The reasons I haven't replied to you for a few days have nothing to do with what you pretend, this is simply because:
- I have better things to do.
- I don't give a rat's *** about your judgment. You've been here for less than two months, you know nothing about me, yet you gratuitously, publicly and repeatedly accuse me of being prideful and arrogant while I was only here to help you. However, I'm afraid you have no legitimacy whatsoever in doing so, and apparently don't even realize how ridiculous this makes you look.
- Your psychological judgments have nothing to do here, this is a forum about the FlightGear flight simulator and you posted your crap in the Hardware support section.
(*) Which by the way you didn't, since there is no way to know which file your “example” is supposed to apply to.
Second, the reasons I said your message could have been about four times shorter are simply that:
- People on this forum are quite used to read fragments of XML files and insert them into their own files; they don't have to be taught how to copy and paste every single line.
- Making your message uselessly long reduces the chances of people reading it in full and thus benefiting from your supposed experience.
- Very often, it is much easier to learn from a short example than from a long and abstract description. We're humans, not computers, and often able to generalize an example more easily than understanding and applying an abstract description.
- You complained yourself that you were being charged every minute for Internet access:captainjack wrote:me, I pay for internet access by the minute

All this time, I am paying money per minute for my internet access.
I have been very patient and polite to you, but your provocations are by far exceeding what can be tolerated without any reaction. You are the kind of user that benefits from the work of others, demands immediate help and work, doesn't follow advice (even when the same advice is kindly given to you by 3 different people), bites the very hands that fed him (both myself and wkitty42 to whom you kindly told to stop commenting in your thread (after harsher comments that have meanwhile disappeared in return for his patience repeating you the wisest advice that could possibly be given to you concerning your question).
In case all this wasn't clear to everyone reading this yet, I'll post here some interesting excerpts of just a few of your recent messages, that show what kind of contributor you are in the FG community:

Please respond quickly, as user Gijs has shown a tendency to move my posts [...] and me, I pay for internet access by the minute, so, it is very expensive for me to chase after my own posts according to the decisions of moderator Gijs.
[...]
I am the end user.

Somebody should fix this, and fix it very fast.
No end user should ever have to face this kind of a situation when entering into the forums.
The FlightGear forum is not a whorehouse.
FlightGear is better than that.
As an end user, I expect this problem to be addressed immediately, and fixed immediately (meaning before tomorrow).
If user Gijs as moderator is moving my posts [...] but I should be able to contact him or her immediately in response

The success of any open source project is directly related to the experiences of its end users.
The "developers mailing list" is a step away from that.
If the developers are not in contact daily with the end users, then the Flightgear project will (eventually) fail.
That is the truth, and "you can take it to the bank" .
captainjack wrote in Thu Dec 01, 2016 8:11 pm:The "mailing list" should not be available to end users.
The "mailing list" should not be presented or even mentioned in the general fora.
I can understand the how and why of developers needing their space.
But my point remains true: if the developers get too far out of touch with the needs of the end users, then the FlightGear project will ultimately fail.
It's simple economics.
It's a law, it governs "how things work in this world".
"20 years this", "20 years that" , it all means nothing dear wkitty42, it only means "blah blah blah"
The only thing that matters is the state of the project in the here and now of 2016.
The laws of simple economics govern, because they are laws.
captainjack wrote in Fri Dec 02, 2016 12:22 am:No, wkitty32, I won't post the details of my system.
They don't matter.
Any developer reading my post will get the point, and will at first reply to me in general terms.
In the kindest terms possible, I ask you to stop commenting here in this thread.
My purpose in this thread is to seek communication with the developers or a developer.
Please do not comment again here.
Thank you.
Then there was the delicious post where you kindly told wkitty42 that he was posting too much without giving any valuable advice, that he ought to think more before clicking on Submit, etc., whereas he had only been patiently giving you the best advice you could possibly get for the problem in question, and has clearly helped far more users than you from what I could see—to be honest, I didn't ever see you help anyone. Too bad that message appears to have been edited or removed. But rest assured that those who had the chance to read it remember well.
Shall I go on?
I believe I have wasted enough time with you, feel free to spill your venom and create heat through your own pathetic gesticulations.
