I had to look up what "51" meant, where perhaps it's a reference to...
Alan has an insulting name he uses for me so I have adopted one for him as well. 51 refers to the 51st state.

All Alan Baker knows about Norwegian history is this one betrayal.
Anyone who thinks for themselves, is, to Alan Baker, betraying the
herd.
Since you think logically on your own, without mindlessly following
the Apple herd animals, Alan Baker feels you've "betrayed" the
newsgroup.
Essentially, your ability to think on your own is a 'betrayal' in
his mind. That's how these mindless herd animals actually think.

Oh, thanks. Apparently 51 is also slang for people who are mentally ill (although it's more often called "5051" in the normal police code jargon).
As you are aware, I've studied all of these strange Apple trolls, because they can't think on their own; they're 100% wired to be herd animals.
To these Apple trolls who can't think on their own, there is safety in number, which is why you'll see them desperate for affirmation stats.
Haven't you noticed how desperate the Apple trolls are for affirmation that their chosen herd, the Apple ecosystem, comprises only Apple herd animals?
I don't fit into their herd-animal mentality because I think for myself.
So they hate me.
It's not so much they directly hate me. They directly "fear" me.
Because I can think outside of the herd. And that's what they hate.
Anyone who can think outside of their herd mentality, is someone to be
feared because that person will tell them what they won't like about Apple.
So you're "dangerous" to them because you threaten their herd mentality.
They seem to dislike you because you too can think for yourself outside of their Apple herd mentality - so people like Alan Baker are afraid of you.
The reason they're herd animals is there is "protection" in the herd.
Instead of making their own choices, they follow the herd instead.
They assume if everyone else is doing it, then it must be the right thing. This herd-animal mentality is critical for understanding Alan Baker's mind.
Knowing Alan Baker is who he is "because" he's a herd animal is exactly why he can't scratch the surface on *any* topic - because the herd does his thinking for him. He doesn't bother to think any deeper than the surface.
An example is Alan Baker claims to own a BMW and yet he doesn't know the first thing about bimmers because his decision was based not on thinking about bimmers, but in following what he perceived the herd to be doing.

Every time Alan Baker tells you that you've "betrayed the herd", he's informing all of us that he can't think outside the Apple herd animal mind.
It's why he is who he is.
He's a herd animal - so by thinking - you've 'betrayed' his chosen herd.

I know only a little about the betrayal of Norway, Arlen, that's true.
Unlike you, I have no problem admitting when my knowledge is limited.
But I AM something of a WWII buff, given that my father was English and
his father served in the RAF.
Let's see if Quisling can "think for himself" "logically" enough to acknowledge to you that you're full of it when you say I can't own a BMW because I don't "follow the herd" of BMW owners sufficiently to know
which BMWs "bimmer" and "beemer" are used for.

That is some kind of twisted logic! Alan does own a BMW. His family
sold it to him at what he admitted was a sweetheart deal price. It's
13 years old now and a 1 series. Before that he had a clapped out
red Miata. It used to be in his Facebook image.
But I AM something of a WWII buff, given that my father was English and
his father served in the RAF.
FWIW, something for WW2 buffs that's at least tenuously on-topic because
its an Apple TV production is 2024's "Masters of the Air":
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_the_Air>
It even happens to include Norway in some episodes, but is actually a
quite good (and factually based) production. Similarly, there was also "Atlantic Crossing" on Masterpiece:
<https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/atlantic-crossing/>
Both are recommended. Plus one can also personally go visit Norway, and perhaps even have had professional colleagues there who provide vastly
more interesting historical insight than one normally gets.

I'll have to check it out... ..."Masters of the Air" that is; I don't
think I'll make it to Norway any time soon.
But with a grandfather in the RAF...

Its a quite nice destination, although expensive (especially for
alcohol). We're thinking of trying to go again to go way north (Tromso) before this current Solar Maximum cycle ends, for superior viewing of
the Northern Lights; question is commitments & schedule to fit it in.
Very nice!But with a grandfather in the RAF...

Perhaps a book for the Naval buff is "Castles of Steel", which is a tome that covers all of the WW-I engagements. Some of my family members just left the USA last night to take a grandchild to see Utah Beach & some
other sights where his great-grandfather had a walking tour of France.
Was initially planning on going with them, but had a ton of other commitments arise which resulted in now being very bad timing.
In the meantime, for the OT jealous types, I'll just leave this here:

When it makes it across the pond, bring it to Vancouver and I'll be your instructor.

Not mine, and its destination is just west of the Mississippi, so it
will already be halfway there. Owner is going to have an overlap with their Boxster S, which I expect that they'll sell in a few years; I'll
keep you in mind as potentially interested when that rolls around...
...and given that I had a telecom with them this morning for ~90 minutes where we talked about various protection schemes for rock chips/etc, its safe to say that its been perfectly maintained. You might recall my
prior mentions of this individual; their daily is a BMW M240i. I guess
its technically possible that they might let that go instead of the
Boxster, but either one would be nice to adopt (personally, I'm out of room).
