While I agree on much of what ya said there about politics and such, and would be tempted to say that meet up with folks face to face is its greatest feature, but many folks live far off and it would not be fair to say that our esteemed members from lands such as France, the UK, and Sweden are for geographic reasons are unable to use this forums greatest feature. I myself have only met a few because of the distance I live and the business of life and work. So I say the greatest feature is that a fella can fellowship with others from around the globe and even for real bonds having never met a fella in person. Like for instance you yourself Keith, its not likely you and I shall ever meet, but I am glad to have met ya on here. And if per chance we ever do get the opportunity I will be very excited and happy to do so. So it goes to you all. Even if we dont see eye to eye on some things, I still count you as friends. Even those of you with who I more often disagree. One of the most valueable lessons I have learned on here is that, you can still like a person that you mostly disagree with.
I think the greatest feature may well be that you can be friends with folks you may never meet face to face in your life.
Oh and I dont need ya tank. I saw an anti tank missile battery for sale.


I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
