Nah! everyone at is DE-facto-a history jock(of lost causes?) and a lot of newbys even say so on their initial greeting; Several have advanced multiple degrees and do it for a living. My whole point in the History thread is to provide a ripple point for events in history, however trite, that put each us where we are today. For example my dad flew B-29's in the Pacific WWII with a navigation device Amelia Earhart wished she'd had...and then he met my mom...Voila! That's what makes it fun- we are all our own little DNA comets passing through time and space-Edgar Cayce notwithstanding Sailor Steve drove one of the cars mentioned in the thread and Armistead is a Son of the Confederacy (another lost cause) And were all at because of the CSS Hunley! and a few CSS Davids "The winners write history"...the losers acquire perspective!
