Paolo,
I certainly meant no disrespect to you or any other UFO fan. My comment was meant to be taken humourously (a joke) and to make the point that everyone has their own definition or idea of what 'big fan' is. I also don't believe that every 'obsessed' fan is a stalker or killer. But perhaps 'passionate fan' is a more acceptable moniker. It's a real shame that not everyone has the time or money to devote as much effort to UFO fandom as you do. And apparently a person cannot consider themselves a 'big fan' unless itfits YOUR criteria. Isn't that awfully close to the definition of 'narrowminded'?

How a bizarre thinking that meeting in person one's heroes means being "obsessed fans", and I think it ridiculous claiming to be "big fans" though missing such events, perhaps close to hometown... There are people available to travel a long way (hundreds of miles, or sometimes thousands ofmiles) to attend those events.
Just to make an example, the person who murdered John Lennon was an "obsessed fan".
If we should count only on "obsessed fans" to organize a meeting with UFO actors nobody would ever succeed, neither ISOSHADO nor larger Associations (for example Fanderson).
But fortunately, also true "big fans" exist!

Well, there IS a difference between being a "big fan", and being
an "obsessed fan"! ; )
