I for one enjoy reading this, while can't say enough about the subject to really participate. But I can also see why it's "this again".

I agree. If there was new information to add to the discussion it is worth bringing up. But usually it is just a re-hash of the old information that did not sway anyone the last time, and probably won't this time.

Since alternative history is not a science, there is really no way to accurately predict what would happened if......

There are so many external factors involved in history, it makes such discussions difficult.
