And the housing folks have finally sorted out some quarters for the tribe and we move in next week. Alles gut! No more 30 mile treks across Lincolnshire to get to work

Is that your actual boat John?

Looks nice.. not that I know anything about boats other than how to fish out of them and ski behind them..

Nope, not mine. Those things start at $500K. I let the MegaMillions winners buy them and then hire someone like me to show them how to sail it.

Right now, I'm just doing little hotrods, like these. But I still do hull and keel design tweaks for the big racing boats, so I get rides

John! That guy is about to fall off the boat!!!!

Matrix created this forum as a benefit for game users. In essence, payment for it's games went to creation of this forum , and paying for it's upkeep. That's what I was trying make clear. Apparently , like taking cable,water,and other services without paying for them, that's ok for some people. For us old geezers , not so much.

No sir. The forum is a marketing device, the reasoning being that if someone is interested enough in a topic to look at the forum, they will be even more motivated to buy the game if they join a community of likeminded enthusiasts on the forum. Worked for me.

Shame that Mohawk thread degenerated into the usual BS. And this time I cant even blame diehl. What he was saying was generally nonsense but he was doing it in a civilized manner. Nik also did a very good job of presenting his arguments in a calm and reasoned manner despite making no secret of being fed up with diehl and his tricks. Some others, however.....

why thank you. And yes....the thread was interesting, till it got hijacked in the usual manner.

as for the issue of ownership. AWSteve asked the question so i'll offer the answer having been here since 2002. He keeps altering his story except for AE specifically, which he's never claimed to have owned, tried or borrowed etc. He has made claims to owning and playing UV....then later admitted he hadn't.....and has variously claimed to have played, tried, borrowed WitP stock briefly (the famous played the AI till March 42 gambit)..then later admitted he had done none of the above. At one point he boasted about not owning or playing WitP stock and taunted those of us who'd wasted our money on an "Axis Fanboy Fantasy." Recently he's claimed ownership/playing of UV/WitP stock again to justify his being on the forum and criticising it. Then he said he'd played PacWar and felt the engines were similar enough for him to pass judgement.As Tree pointed out, the key factor is his complete ignorance of the game's mechanics. End of story. My only suprise is that AW. wasn't aware of the fact till now. This has only been going on for 10+ years now.

I'll stand by my previous statement i.e. even if he doesnt and never intends to own the game and just comes here to (let's say) discuss military history in general, does not, in and of itself, make him a persona non grata. Heck, I cant say i blame him. This forum is the finest collection of military history nuts I've ever seen.

It's not "him" that really torques me up, it's the "oh don't rock the boat " attitude.

Some people have the attitude that "if he's not stealing from me, that's ok".
I seem to recall that not to long ago someone was suspended for a very long time for admitting that he cheated on a PBEM. So I guess I need to reconcile "Cheating is bad, stealing is OK". I need a drink and a good long time out. Like I said.....Later.

well i'm not one of them. I'm not alone. I have spoken my mind repeatedly. So have a few others. 10 years its been going on but i'm still here because there are things worth fighting for and protecting. There's one flaw in Onime's argument. A person who repeatedly causes disruption, even if he purchases a cup of coffee can and has been thrown out of an establishment. Hence the often seen sign....."We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"

PM me if you want to discuss it more.

Aparently the only way that I'm going to be able to let this go is to take a "time out" again. Otherwise some one is just going to set me off again. See you all in a while my friends,

You take this way too close to heart, my friend.

Steve, I honestly dont understand why you think he's stealing. Has he said anything which leads you to believe that he owns an illegally obtained copy of the game? Or do you refer to his use of the forum?

I'm sure there is. Tell me this, though. Would you mind him so much if he behaved civilly, presented well-reasoned arguments based on honest research, paid proper due to the arguments of others and admitted valid points made by others? All while frankly stating that he has never owned and does not plan to own the game?

If so, I think that my argument is still valid. I think that you have a case against him only because he acts the way he does.

there's alot of history involved Onime, even if your not aware of it or choose to ignore it.

It's where we rev the engines and the spotters try to stand in the prop wash and take pictures.

It's strange being at work whilst people take photos of the aircraft I'm working on. It's a strange feeling.

The new place is a bungalow, they'd have a problem putting us in a flat with a two year old and a border collie

Do you have that swimmer gal who keeps getting abused for posting bikini pictires?

Who is that then? Do you have a name or at least a nationality - and will she be in the Olympics?

Afternoon tithe... well it's offical, I'm getting better.

I don't look like death any-more, look, me today!

Very glad to hear you're getting better, Des.

Your picture does look like you've lost some weight (recalling other self-images you've posted in the past), but I'll bet your wife can put some meat back on yer bones with some of her pastry specialties before you know it.

Did you lose your razor?

Razor? That thing looks like it would sneer at garden sheers.

He marked his territory when you wernt looking.
