[StartQuote] Everything that needs said, I feel has already been said, but I just wanted to add weight to the issue. WE NEED the PT veterans (& any veteran for that matter) to continue to be a part of this wonderful tool of research, resources, information & entertainment. They are the footings that everything we enjoy here is based on. I realize that we all probably don't enjoy & even loath all the cutsie e-mails that flood our in boxes everyday, but wading through them in my opinion is a small price to pay for the nuggets-to-mother loads of information we get through our computers as well. My Dad (a Navy veteran) who lives just a few miles from me & reads this forum, sends me all kinds of stuff via e-mail. We have a totally different informational relationship through e-mail than we do in person(meaning we share different info through each of the 2 methods of communication). He sends me lots of great stuff as well as some fluff. I could tell him to stop with the cutsie stuff, but I risk missing something really interesting if I do. I just look at them, read them & save, or delete them as I see fit. I also have a friend who has a son in the Marines currently on his 2nd tour to the middle east. She sends me EVERYTHING, which some days drives me nuts, but she also sends some great updates on his where-abouts & doings that make it all worth it. I can't see anyone getting so annoyed by what's in their in-box that they feel justified in spouting off to one of our vets, or even another forum member. I'm sure it happens & I feel badly about it, but it's not collectively who we are as a forum. I think if you tend to get that way, you should poke your nose outside for a little while, it really drives home the fact that life is a whole lot bigger than us & what we get through our computer screens! As for the split site.....My Uncle served with Ron 33 at Leyte Gulf, but I'm also a modeler & history buff (but in no way a writer, although this reply is starting to resemble a novel), so I vote to leave everything combined as is. It helps me maintain my level of internet laziness! Also, Dad if you happen to be reading the forum today, don't take it personal....keep the cute stuff coming! Just kidding. :^) [EndQuote]
