But what surprises me is the fact that lately I see too many

Please would be so kind to let us know who origineted such (no doubt about

comment (callsign as well as real name and surname)???
It's only a matter of fairness to sign our own "declarations", especially
when the results of our "declarations" might ever discredit someone else

Thanks
