I see what you mean about audience expectation. Thanks also for making the trip and showing the flag, so to speak.

I agree with your assessment of the lecture. In fact, I was tempted beforehand and may well do this in the future, to just pitch the prepared lecture and just play off audience questions. The problem is, though, that the audience comes in prepared for a lecture and I am not sure how a discussion will go without having provided, especially those in the audience who have not done much study of the war previously, some food for thought in the form of the lecture.
