Please ask your "Are you Firstname Lastname?" question by Fri. noon EST.

[Erictelevision]

DQ: Are you Fredrick Nietzsche?

[Elendil's Heir]

Not a bad guess, but no, I am not.

I'll give CIAS until noon EST tomorrow to weigh in, if he wishes.

[Erictelevision]

Per DQs 5, 9 and 17: was he a valid guess?

[Elendil's Heir]

No, I guess not, since Nietzsche died in 1900, and not "after 1925."

I was thinking of

Anthony Fokker

Well-known aircraft designer - Dutch-born, but probably best-known for his WWI work for the Germans. His company lasted until pretty recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Fokker
