Now we see---as if we did not know the trouble with screen names. For a long while now I have objected to people not posting their real names---as I do.   Carol C has a point---she cannot believe shat she sees.   Too many people---and some who post here, probably, use various names.   I don't.

I have not met "H Hogan"(only heard about his wrestling career) ---do not know him, but certainly express my thanks for his kind words and courtesy.   The proof of his identity is that he knows of one of my other 2 programs (Sunday Simcha--Jewish oriented and with a tilt toward "folk" in the Jewish tradition). I have never mentioned it here. Nor the 3d program---Tabletalk which chats w/ people in arts and lit---and---Carol---you will love this--one of my guests was the author of a book on the 1967 War in Israel.   Michael Oren. A scholar that I doubt you would debate very well.

In any case I just wanted to clear up the problem some have with identity and the internet. I am--ME. No other person. WOujld that we all kept our true identities.

Now---with the kidnapping of the thread by certain zealots--I hesitate to use Carol's favorite word---Trolls---perhaps we can get back to a serious contemplation of the sad events of recent history in London---which is what this started out to be.

The One--The Only---and you will note on this list there are others of us who are using our real names for the sake of truth in "advertising"
