Gentlemen:

It seems to me that the trolls have descended upon us yet again. "Ban all
airshows". "Did we win the Vietnam War?". "Ed Rasimus Says He Won the Vietnam
War".... the crap goes on and on.

Why.... why you read such provocative comments.... do you feel obligated to be
reeled in? If you answer, they win and we all lose. Ignore the crap. If they
don't get a response, they'll leave for richer waters.

There's a reason why people say "Don't Feed The Trolls".

You might want to tell this to your Dad--he seems to be the guy who has
decided that Ed has something to be ashamed about, and he has fed the troll
most thoroughly.

You do realise that this stuff gets posted to the US as well ? ;-)

Actually, I have spoken to him on the matter. What can I say? He's his own
man. I have an ongoing program of trying to discourage him from replying to
trolls.

At least I've got his bull**** detector finely tuned when it comes to urban
legend.

As a resident of North Carolina, I am well aware. The RN after my name doesn't
mean "Royal Navy".
