"Mortimer Schnerd, RN" wrote in message news:ON2fe.2579$sy6.393@lakeread04... "Dudley Henriques" dhenriques@noware .net wrote in message ink.net... The problem with people like me ( not that I'm anything special) is that I'm in print enough throughout the world that there are many in aviation who recognize the name. Although It's true the average poster on Usenet wouldn't know if the person posting with this name was actually me, there are enough people out here both in my profession and on Usenet who actually know me personally that it's not all that hard to put the post to the name. I can tel when it's you not by looking at the properties of the message, but rather the content. You have a body of knowledge most of us lack. I don't believe it can be faked. I believe the legitimate pilots on these groups, especially the ones who have lived through a career or have spent their lives in aviation in one form or another each have a unique experience to bring to the information table. I as well believe these pilots for the most part recognize each other through just the process you have described above; the quality of information that's passed back and forth through posting. They know it's fact because they have lived the fact...in one form or another. These pilots have no problems at all with each other on Usenet. After all is said and done with the rest of what one has to put up with from the trolls and idiots on these groups, it's only the recognition and acceptance of the people "in the know" for each other that keeps the groups alive. It is a bit different for people on Usenet who use their real names than it is for the pseudonym posters. Actually, as I have said many times, if I had it to do over again, I would not have come to Usenet as Dudley Henriques. I long ago came to the same conclusion, hence the Mortimer Schnerd moniker. Obviously, that's not my real name but I am accessible through it. I don't keep my real name a secret with email... only in Usenet. I do exactly the same thing :-) Dudley Henriques |
