    Hi All,
    MoggyC I wasn’t suggesting you shuffle the responsibility onto others merely suggesting if it got to much for your self indeed any other mod then why not take it in turn ? if this is not possible then you are correct you don’t have an option,why is it embarrassing after all the posts are for the most part personal opinions of what has transpired so far,while I agree that some posts are unwarranted bordering on personal insults is not good to have debate ? I know that your moderating must drive you up the wall from time to time and I for one would not dare to entertain such work (Not being of the Interlectual minded :highly_amused:) I can only offer my thanks for the work you do on mine and the forumites .

    Hi All,
    MoggyC,You are correct in what you say about not knowing your job,I like you have the same base interest’s and I would agree that repetition does get tedious showing lack of originality and possible insult to the veiwers ?but you do have to remember that there will be new veiwers amongst the throng of regulars so as the viewer you have the option like you have done to make some coffee etc. etc.
    As for the forum content I was trying to point out that what we find as being a hobby,interesting,informative,enjoyable etc.etc.other’s would find boring and uninteresting like I am sure you find other peoples interest boring,brain numbing,why bother etc.etc. in other words we shouldn’t castigate someone for a different outlook on their life because of what they have an interest in or the way they see fit to steer their life like the Spit saga two different outcomes will happen either buried or not buried despite the obvious outcome from the wargaming team.
    As a mod though you say you do not have the option of not reading that thread if you find it hard cannot you just ask the other mod to do that specific thread until you feel you can judge it fairly again without bias ?.

    Hi Etienne,
    Sorry for the second one try it again using this one I just tried it and it’s working. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/steve-appleton-micron-technology-ceo-dies-plane-accident/story?id=15508474
    I also found this on YouTube,

    Very sad news but I suppose he passed on doing what he enjoyed but still a great loss to all concerned.
    Can I ask Etienne M or F ?

    Hi tona,
    I have a few of them but two told by my Grandfather he was in the Royal Warwick’s when they where in africa/Italy campaign he and his Pals witnessed an Me-109 belly land,witnessed a spitfire land when they got to the aircraft the pilot was dead,they had to guard some German prisoners then load them into wagons Inc. officers,there one officer who refused to sit with the enlisted men and wouldn’t get in so my Grandfathers mate a big jock told him to get in he still refused which earn’t him a kick up the backside and physically forced in with all the expletives that would accompany the action.
    When at Dunkirk he was waiting with his mate and a young lad when it came to there turn to line up they tapped the young lad who they thought was asleep but the shock of all that was happening had obviously taken there toll my Grandfather tolled me that he just looked like he was asleep no expression on his face,his watch was still ticking etc.etc. and on the way back he was in some sort of fuel tanker that had been emptied he said he stank of fuel but it was packed.
    Got a couple more if your interested PM me.

    trumper,
    Thanks for the posting a fascinating read I think that in the next couple of years this will be a more common event I just hope that someone somewhere is collating all the aircrew pictures and when the last survivor passes on publishes them on a permanent memorial like the Vietnam wall in America god bless Mr Baker and all who had their lives taken.

    Geoff.
