On the other hand I definitely recommend the use of a Spell-Checker when he is in the thread!

kidding... I kid...

Nice one. You sure got me there. The unwritten rule of proof reading seems to be that you check and you check and you check again, you sign the proof form, send it for printing and the first time you look at one of your shiny new brochures (never less than ten thousand of course), you will spot a blindingly obvious mistake.

I like the "kidding... I kid..." bit. I like to be able to make comments which are at times slightly tongue in cheek, a touch sarcastic or just meant in fun but no-one ever gets it unless you put a smiley on the end to state the obvious. I smiled at your post even before I get to the "I kid" bit. Nice to know that someone else has a sense of humour. This forum needs an awful lot more of it.

Thanks JC

In that light I've read more history books and technical stuff than I can begin to describe (well, actually I could, but nobody wants to waste that kind of time); so I at least know where to look a lot of stuff up.

I'm on the forum because back in 2002 I had SH2 and it wouldn't work, so I came, I saw and I stuck around. I love SH3, want to play SH4 but I'm on the outs and my computer's in storage. Otherwise, just another gamer.

I always bow to someone who's been there, especially on a sub. Also, I've been known to be wrong on more than a few occassions.

And yes, I do tend to be a little critical where spelling and grammar are concerned, especially if the person is American or British, and should know better.

Jeeze, I'm in the process of thoroughly spell checking my post before I reply and get torn to ribbons by you literary pedants and you sneak another post in! Yes, I am a Brit and I should know better but what the hell, it's been a long week and it's now a bank holiday weekend, which for all of you non Brits means that we get Monday off, our roads will be choked to death with traffic and there's always a bad feeling of "where did that go to" on Tuesday morning when the alarm goes off.

Two years in the Navy is good enough for me. I've lived by the sea all of my life and will only go on it (never in, have you seen the water off of the south coast?) after much protestation. Good to chat though and get to know a few more chaps on the forum

I enjoyed reading that Steve. You and I go back some ways hot and cold but its nice to see some of your background.
