Everything is great. I can also add that there is also a spoken language... and sometimes the translator cannot understand how to translate, since some words or even sentences can be slang or untranslatable wordplay, but still I like to communicate and read posts here more than on the same Russian forums, where communication is less tolerant, less respectful. I once had a forum, and it was one of the largest in Ukraine, and as the owner I constantly moderated such topics. Here, even if there are some issues, they are always resolved very peacefully. And this is what I like about foreign forums.Absolutely. One of the main draws, for me, to this forum is that it has a broader European audience, and that means more modelers who are also interested in the 1650 - 1750 time period. However, because of this broad international coalition, there are bound to be communication hiccups, and occasionally I lose sight of that. As an American, I can barely understand French, let-alone any other foreign language, yet Europeans of all stripes can almost always find the bathroom, no matter where they are.
I offer my sincere apologies for being abrupt.
I watched my aunt disintegrate from dementia over several years until she died. It's tragic. My prayers go to your father, HH.Thank you Maarten and Shota. Yes, dementia is an absolutely awful condition. The person you know and love fades away right before your eyes.
