Whilst following this 'V5' thread I cannot stop thinking of our ancestors whom we are recording and who were devastated by the untimely arrival of the 'V1s' closely followed by the 'V2s'. They too probably asked 'When'. As family historians I feel that our expectations and the word "disappointment" need to be put into some sort of historical context and imagine how they would look to our ancestors.

When? It might be more relevant (to say nothing of being politer) to ask how much truth there is in the comment in the My History newsletter. (I've haven't seen it, so don't know exactly what it says.) And even a non-techie like me knows that everything can be going swimmingly until a serious bug is found almost at the last minute. Simon won't release v.5 until he's happy that it's as bug-free as the beta-testers have found it can be.

I take exception to the use of the word "ancestors" in the context of V1s and V2s. Although I suppose rather young children think this a long time ago. It wasn't, especially to those who recall the killing of people they once knew. Ian

I think that this topic is now seriously off topic. Can we all please take a deep breath and call a halt before it degenerates further. We all, I am sure use words like "ancestors" in slightly different ways and do not intend to cause offence to others who might happen to read those words.
