Wonderful stuff!

Bozzor, dear,

Be as smart as possible, with charm and humor, for the next few days, because I am touting you as a wonderful addition to a super exclusive group.

No pressure.

epi

p.s. I love your writing; the airplanes? . . . over my head.

If I'm not mistaken amasters avatar is a Boeing 787! Oh, and I think Bozzor's great!

:p
— Michael Kohlhaas

This guy knows a lot of weapons and military things but if I'd never met him on Newsvine I would never have know just how serious were the Ukrainian genocides of the last century. I stay close to his column if somewhat far from his politics.
— Oluseye

Bozzor shows tremendous knowledge and obvious enthusiasm for planes and transport in general, along with watching what Macquarie Bank are up to. Very insightful political comments that are interesting to read. One of the best Newsviners for a range of issues!
— robertmenzies

Insightful, funny and informative, Borys gives a bit of corporate class to Newsvine. A great focus on aviation, defense, transport and banking with a bit of geo-politics thrown in, he always makes for an interesting read.

Knows more about building planes than the guys who actually build them - hey buddy, you still off the Evan Williams, or can we welcome you back???
