Sorry, his response addressed a particular point in your post - Victor Khomenko 17:40:24 07/14/05 (2)
It was quite pertinent. Your retort is funny, but misses the point.

  the Air Force wouldn't cooperate so a well-known set designer got all the published photos he could of B-52 interior: it was but one, with the crew front and center and the panel quite obstructed and distant.
  Yet, after it was constructed, word of mouth was that it was terribly real. The Air Force investigated to determine if indeed it was realistic and if so where he got the classified info.
  I trust this satisfies you?

    You basically repeated what you stated before. How accurate that "word of the mouth" was we do not know and it doesn't matter - you presented YOUR side of the story - whether a true story or an urban myth.
    Now, someone else, with first hand knowledge of that particular situation, has presented his.
    You seem unhappy that he expressed his opinion, for some reason.
    I say, his response was completely pertinent, because it addressed a particular, well defined item in your post, so it should not be subject to ridicule.
    I am not passing any judgement on whose's story is more right here, just recording the fact that there have been different opinions.
