Friends,
As you have noticed, I hope, Greybeard has just given me the opportunity to be a Mod on the War of Northern Aggression. I hope we will become the very best forum on this subject on the net.

That is a tall order and I hope for alot of very lively post to take place here. I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that we are to be ladys and gents here, personal attacks as of today, will not be tolerated. I would advise go by the rule "If you can't say something nice then say nothing at all" or use the ignore button. There are alot of very good subjects which we have not talked about but I hope everyone, on both sides will feel free to say what is on their minds keeping in mind being respectful of others. We all have feelings.

And last but not least please stay on Topic, I know I'm as bad as the next guy, I promise I will do my best to not break this rule. It really is a great rule if you will just think of how many more things we will have to discuss by following this simple request.

Sorry it took so long to get him added but his PM to me accepting the offer went to the wrong user name. I log in as Greybeard spelled with the E very rarely and had not since early December until one day recently when I noticed I had a PM from him to that account.

Any time you PM me always spell the name with the A as Graybeard or you might not hear from me for months as I just do not use that other account very often.

Well guys you got yourself a good co-moderator. I've been knowing SBG for awhile now and can't say nothing bad about him on any level. If he prints it on these pages rest asured he has done his home work and documented the source. He's a good man. Congrats J.P.

Congratulations are in order!! look forward to being involved with some good dialog about The Civil war and our history!

I hope this wont stiffle your candid views and discussion! But I think its a good idea regardless!

Thanks for words of encouragement fellas.
I've been knowing of the problem Graybeard referred to for several months and I was confident he would fix it when he came across it, even If I didn't know what it was that needed fixin'. ;D ;D You gotta remember, he's got the whole website to tend to, not just me... :D
I have worked with Ga.windbreak this whole time as if there was no problem, and there really wasn't one, IMO. If I noticed something needing his attention, I pointed it out to him, and he did likewise.
That being said, it does look good to finally have that logo over there on the left side of my screen...  ;D
Let's just keep having fun in "The War Room" like we always have. I'll certainly do my part to keep it lively.   ;)  :D ;D
Any newcomers reading this, if you like what you see, bring some of your buddies in on the discussions. We'll be glad to have you.

Thank you for the kind words Skunk. Please let me add that if any of you feel the need to express an idea to me, or SBG, don't be afraid to PM me about them or any concerns that you have about this forum. Just remember it not about who thinks they are right its about the truth and our history; both good and bad.  ;)
