Already, with the new Navlist arrangement, we have had two messages [Sent anonymously from the message boards]. I do not understand this quest for anonymity, and deplore it. Why should anyone posting on Navlist wish to conceal his identity from the rest? I don't know about other Navlist members, but quite a lot of my communication with others is done backstage, off-list, and indeed most of that has been both informative and enjoyable. It's easy for me to communicate one-to-one with others, as they can with me, without bothering the list. For many years now, all my postings have included, with the email address, my postal address and phone number, which have proved useful when the email address is deliberately garbled, as it seems to be on the message board. That openness has never caused me any problems. What purpose does the garbling serve? Why is everyone so keen to preserve their secrecy? contact George Huxtable, at george@hux.me.uk or at +44 1865 820222 (from UK, 01865 820222) or at 1 Sandy Lane, Southmoor, Abingdon, Oxon OX13 5HX, UK. ----- Original Message ----- From:To: Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 10:52 PM Subject: [NavList] Re: Kollsman sextant hello i have a case for a sextant aircraft periscopic it looks old i was wondering when it was from there is a # on it ms28011-3 from burton manufacturing company ------------------------------------------ [Sent anonymously from the message boards] ---------------------------------------------------------------- NavList message boards and member settings: www.fer3.com/NavList Members may optionally receive posts by email.
