Hello again Thom ...

   How many times have I read this from others, as well perhaps also
repeating this theme.   Keyboard or micrphone it seems so easy.   I 
found it even harder, when I made the jump from radio to TV.

No more shorts and t-shirt...one had to dress accordingly, and it 
seemed too the words spoken were also more in line with perhaps
coming into a person's home via the blubtube.

 TL> It might also be an example of how society seems to have lost its good
 TL> manners. 

Another agreement from me Thom.   Most of the references I read on
the net  < 1million plus> as I look for a more modern stand, show
this being the norm after WW1...after WW2 more was relaxed...after
Korea and Vietnam ...even more was relaxed, and of course after
all the challenges in the courts, even more relaxed to the day now
I guess it is allowed, and I am a fossil believing in Basic Manners.

Yes , society has changed.   I however can not see via any mode in
a hobby that is touting itself  as a bridge between nations, and
cultural beliefs, that this would be allowed, unless our world
societys could speak friendly on the subjects, accepting that
all have an opinion, and leave it at that ....

It just seems, and I am not really sure of this, but some or most
subjects open with this or that...someone then responds with his
comments and opinion...then a rebuttal, and then a few more posts
and it starts to feel like bricks are being thrown, and it degrades
from there.

If then this supports your comments, I only offer them as support
for your comments on people and society, and with that I am all
out of opinion and opinion on your comments.
