One of my babies...

You see, Jack, this is the embodiment of some people's problem with you.

I'm afraid not, what follows the above sentence is actually your opinion.

You seem to think that the "newbies and the young chaps" and the "lunatic fringe" (these were your own words, yes?)

Yes, those are my words but...

do not have anything to contribute, ergo deserve to be ignored.

...that is your interpretation of them.

I, however, believe that their biggest drawback is the lack of experience and depth when analyzing problems alongside too little time

Fine, but...

but you wipe them of the table because "they are not interesting enough and I have nothing to learn from them"

...there you go again inventing thoughts for me to have.

When you do enlighten us with your opinion, it is usually done in a arrogant way without the slightest of knowledge about the people involved (except their posts, that can often be misunderstood).

Now you've summed things up very nicely: all anyone has are the posts on the forum which can indeed be misunderstood. Anything further than that is just the readers opinion. This is why, if one wishes to be understood as one wishes, it is essential to consider those posts carefully to ensure that they convey what one wants. Slap dash or ludicrous posts will not win one any credibility, and if one worries about things like credibility on internet forums then one is unlikely to enjoy the consequences of making those posts. Interestingly enough credibility seems to be very important to some posters yet their posts just become weirder and weirder - something of an oddity, do you not think?

This approach is a recipe for a limited and insular existence.

Seems to work for me...!

Good sleuthing Al Bradford. I think we all had our suspicions and its nice to know that you did the footwork for us.

As to the sardine: google "BILE URA" and then tack on Youtube in your second google attempt. Have a listen. Yes, I'm into HEAVY metal, and URA reminds me of you.

I know those are harsh words, but after awhile, I kind of get sick of your constant vitriol. Yet at other times I enjoy it. I guess I'm trying to say stop-it and keep it up at the same time.

But why high-jack a thread and turn it into a fight-fest ALL of the time? (err, most of the time as per Al Bradford's research).

I think Tamir's assessment was spot-on.

OMG. The ultimate irony.

They may seem that way to you, Vince, but really, they aren't. I think I might pass on your suggestion that I listen to 'Bile Ura', by the way.

There really are people who could help you with this sort of thing, you know. You don't have to live with this confusion.

I think Tamir's assessment was spot-on.

I'm sure he'll be glad to hear that. But which assessment was it - do I fix radios, make weapons, or what?

OMG. The ultimate irony.

OMG, Steve. You have bad teeth!

Do Keil ever test anything they release? I'm beginning to have doubts...

Here's a deployed release of RTX in full-flight!

Here's a deployed release of RTX in full-flight!

"World peace achieved by US military"

The big questin here? Someone leaves an access hatch open during a torpedo test, and you use this as a way to somehow blame Keil. Why?

The video is very funny but in what way was RTX causing this misshap?
