Man, y'all reading waaaaaaaaaay too much into my post.
The takeaway is, again, to John Q. Public - and sadly to too many rc'er's - "drone" = ONLY a multi-rotor hovering and flying apparatus, with or without photo/video, method of control irrelevant, weight from 0 to 747-max takeoff weight (or even higher); that most have no clue about rc safety recommendations; and that most non-rc Christmas-gift "drone" (as defined above) recipients have no clue about the FAA registration regulation and stipulations requiring or exempting a person from said regulation..
That's it, nothing more. The format was simply an attempt at humor.
Mea culpa on the AMA question. Remove that from the quiz. I forgot that bringing up the AMA here can be like waving red meat in front of a rabid wolf.
Damn. I'm just gonna go back to lurking and watching the regulars red-ass each other here over the AMA, the FAA, and who knows what else.
