Joe D."And, while I don't know what Ted's job was on that air base, I'm quite sure I've spent much more quality time (i.e., in the air, flying airplanes, or talking about flying airplanes) with fighter pilots than Ted has."
David,
My brain has a simple problem figuring out how a person in one sentence can admit that he does not know what Ted's job was on the air base - -
but can also be QUITE SURE he's spent much more quality time with fighter pilots than Ted.
I think that is indicative of a fundamental issue I have with many comments (not necessarily yours / not trying to personally go after your comments).
But how the heck can you be quite sure you have spent more quality time and at the same time say you don't know of the other person's experience?
That to me seems a bit closed-minded. You have your conclusions before your facts.
edit: grammar.
