Default RE: cub ground roll

Anyways thanks for making me rub off more letters on my keyboard just so you could boost your ego.
Just starting out, you've probably not heard "dumbthumbs" before. It's not a word we'd use to boost our ego with, even at someone else's expense. It's the word we use to take the edge off the results of a crash. I doubt it was said to insult you as we so often use it to describe anything that is simply pilot error, and we all make those. I dumbthumbed my last crash.

The written word is really hard to communicate with because it doesn't have a kidding tone, or a commiserating tone (and it has some goshawful words like that one) that gives more meaning than the words themselves.
