I am a low-time VFR pilot, and while I am interested in this particular
conversation, I have no idea of why you are so critical of this person's
practices. I would appreciate it if you could be slightly more verbose
in your responses, so that those of us without explicit IFR knowledge
will be better able to follow the conversation, and perhaps learn what,
if anything, is wrong with the aforementioned techniques.

Thanks.
