But rarely has this happened on this site because those who don't have a genuine confidence in their views to be open and post under their real name or give me a phone call are pathetic creatures in my view.
Dick, it is not "confidence in their views". If it weren't for the anonymity this site guarantees, we would not have PPRuNe. Unfortunately many of the airline employers of our PPRuNe users are very "sensitive" to criticism - as is CASA and ASA - and for many to post on this forum with their own name could be the kiss of death to their employment and career.
To most, they have no choice but to post anonymously or not participate in PPRuNe.
