Re: Real Names

As in the case of all human endeavors, the internet is the best and worst of human behavior and all shades in between. The anonymous and unseen can shout obscenities in your web forum and disappear. They can be in Malaysia while you are in the US. Criminals and con artists abound. Along with the immature and the bored.

On balance, it appears I've gotten more good than bad. How many of us here are ever likely to meet face to face or even have a phone call together? It seems most will not. Everyone I know looks at me a little oddly whenever I bring up the subject of the Luftwaffe and most have no interest in it. Should I write a book, I doubt few outside the specialist community would read it, with perhaps a few copies ending up in the hands of the curious among the public. And then another person might join these ranks.


Best regards to all,
Ed
