If that's true, I wonder if this doesn't shed some light on some of your past posts. A number of times your arguments have been soundly and, IMO, decisivley refuted. Yet you've continued on as if you hadn't even read the post refuting you. (At a minimum, you've seemed to ignore important points. e.g., my questioning your assertion that some countries had military budgets not too much smaller than that of the U.S.) Now I'm wondering if maybe you hadn't read those posts.

Im sure I miss a lot of posts. When a thread winds up on the second or third page, I dont see it, leave the forum and return, then even though it might reappear on the first page the responses before I left the forum are skipped as "read".

My life doesnt center around these boards. In fact a lot of the "board closure" thread and the new post by myrtle on board decorum make me wonder how pathetic the lives of some posters must be. Its a freaking internet bulletin board. On a scale of importance it ranks somewhere well below weeding the walkway.
