I am getting to the point of thinking wars never really end they just 'morph' into another one. If WW1 wasn't avoidable at least WW2 should have been off the back of what we should have learned? Man has become like a locust consumming everything, the next wars and the recent wars have been and will be about scarce resourses. Oil, gas and now the new move to Ukraine for the 'bread basket'? I loved the retorhic about only wanting to protect 'ethnic Russian speaking' folk, you couldn't make it up. I wonder if we have another 100 years as a species?

Brian,
I think it is probably as you state. You are at your level 'preaching to the converted'! That is not to say I don't read your articles as I do and find them witty and informative but since they often cover areas that I did not know existed it is beyond me to comment on accuracy or usefulness of your articles since for the most part I am religated to 'student'! I look forward to your planned blog on the events in which I took part so may have an opinion on or some knowledge of. I am at the moment not saying much on any forum as I can not trust myself when I am passionate about something to not put my foot in it. I would not want to 'enrage' any members. I do have to ask though across all of these fora, where has the passion for the hobby gone? In most fora it seems the mood is manipulated by the opinions of the 'pop stars' of the affected area. To look at one situation now potentialy costing the hobby millions in fraud would be the SS Champagne Decal farce. People were against them but it was not until an alleged 'pop star' deamed them fake was it accepted as such. People that did voice concern were 'bullied' by said same groups of 'pop stars' that are now eating their words. Sad really. I think where your articles differ is that they are based on fact and research so provoke little debate since there is less opinion and more fact? Anyways, keep up the good work!
