Re: 4/03 - Bf109s on eBay

Hi Chris,

In fact I first had the same thought & googled without faith. But thanks to you, you did put the cherry on the cake before I made it!
Concerning the "uniformity" I agree I must cool down some time to time; I know me and I'm a perfectionnist.
Doesn't mean too that we haven't to take care about what we write for potential readers and that we haven't to check because it was written on whatever published book; It's what I call the "published effect", the Holly Grail!

For example, the Kracker list (Yeah again) take care about that and does point existing variations.
We can accept, too, a lost report written with a bad orthograph; I'm not going to ask the guy to write Pihen-Lez-Guisnes as it was written during the XIXth century; I'm not going to ask the same guy to check Trikkala or Trikala but I'm expecting the guy who is publishing the information to check if this makes sense.

And, last, of course Michael Holm isn't guilty of that situation; he did a wonderful and useful job and I'm sure he passed enough time, not to stop every step. His site is just in front line being the only place where we can check immediately.

Cheers, Franck.
