Chuck's guide certainly helped me a lot specially with Mig-21 and F-5E, and I hope to see them again sooner or later.
Arguments and attracting negativity are the part of the life. Don't let them take you down. Can't say about reddit (since I also got a lot of down votes in another topic like extreme punishments for drunk drivers and corrupt politicians), but this community is certainly thankful for your work. Hell, we might even welcome you back with virtual coke and strippers ;)
