#4. I suspect Ivan like a lot of us wonder who we are talking to and their background and like a few more when go to look find absolutely no means of identification whether to ignorance or just secrecy no one will ever know . They could at the very least identify them self as a seaman after all this is a seamans site. I really have no wish to talk to strangers , like most kids at an early age was taught not to talk to strange people .Cheers JS .
