OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES layout: never change a winning team

[edwest2]

I work in book publishing so a little perspective if I may. When the mail or telephone were the only way to reach us, we got requests for various books, meaning ideas for future titles.

These were compiled for future consideration. Sometimes, a few ideas were selected and the books were produced.

The internet has created two problems:

1) The utterly fake idea that being uncivil was OK.

2) One poster asking for something or even two, and us not following through and producing a book based on two suggestions meant we "weren't listening."

Since there are no, or few actual, real names being used, this creates a bad precedent. As a moderator on our message board, I see advertising links embedded in honest sounding questions. Such posts are immediately deleted.

A lack of a human voice or signed letter creates a situation where people are disconnected. I do not regard this as a good thing.
