I've been a member for some time, but haven't been very active,
I do find it interesting as more artillery is identified on the site.

Thanks Allen.  I should mention that the site has basically two parts and some members only look at one, the messages.  There's also an extensive collection of files in the section by that name.  Some are documents and some are photos or sets of photos.  I can assure you that there is a lot of valuable and interesting information there.

The basic setup is an email group.  Someone finds something of interest, and they send an email and it goes to the rest of the group members.  They can each choose to receive each message as it comes out, or periodic "digests" of messages, weekly for example, or none at all, if they prefer to check the site and read messages at their leisure.

It is a keen mind that can perceive the subtle distinctions between slow and plodding; so yes, it did take me awhile to get to it, but I finally did manage to sign up today.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
