"That, Geriaviator, is VERY sad"
But let's be honest, not totally unexpected. The media (print, online, broadcast) these days doesn't reflect the sense of gratitude expressed on this thread for Danny and his remarkable generation for our very freedoms. It's all just so much history, that much despised discipline that has to be constantly revised to suit ever changing sensibilities.
You have made the effort, Geriaviator, on Danny's (and might I suggest our?) behalf. Well done, Sir! That it has been so summarily ignored isn't a reflection upon you, or Danny, or us, but upon the Daily Telegraph, the Times, and I daresay half a hundred others if they had been similarly approached. We live in a Brave New World these days and must learn to conform or become irrelevant. Personally, I much prefer the latter status.
