#1 Steve,sometimes I post something that may or may not be related to WOT,but I think may be interesting,funny or just plain bizzar.When I do I put them on opinion page.Is this permissable or should I not post these snippets at all?

#2 Steve, don't forget that new military tech toys plays big as well (i.e., Strategy Page stuff and Science) and fit in with WoT

#4 Please change this to 'Check for duplicates just before you post'.

Sometimes I have checked for dups, found none, then spent 10 mins entering the article,previewing, etc.. then posting -- only to find that someone had posted it already (during the time I was editing it...).

#6 Bobby----AoS stands for the Army of Steves. We had a lot of Steves, so we lumped them all together as the Army of Steves. The main man of the Army of Steves was Steve Russell in Iraq, who made things happen. Type Steve Russell in the Search box and that should bring up articles on Steve Russell. And that brings you up to date on the AoS.

#9 Raptor: bizarre goes in SAST, page 3. Ditto funny, though it has to be funny :-)

Interesting goes in the appropriate heading on page 3. Too many times these things have ended up on SAST -- if it's interesting and cultural, it goes in 'Culture Wars', etc.

Captain: Techy kind of stuff goes in 'Tech', but again if it's way away from the WoT we may can it. Military tech is almost always okay.

CF: I agree, it's wise to check right before you click 'Submit'. With a tabbed browser it's easy to keep several windows up (Firefox on PC or Mac, Safari on Mac). But a lot of the formatting buttons work only with IE on the PC, so you're forewarned.

#14 No. It might frighten the children. Or the horses. And especially the reptilians.

OTOH, if it keeps Tom Biscardi at bay...
