Daddy and all:
Thanks. Yes, even though the site was created for engineers, I do enjoy hearing from ALL. Hey they all worked in tandem. No unit worked alone. They all filled in where they were needed. The infantry worked with engineers. The airborne troops walked with armored. The cooks fed all the troops. It's one big jigsaw puzzle with everyone making it function as ONE BIG UNIT. I agree, they were all important.
No one will be shunned or ignored on our site. Right guys? No snobbery here.
I'll share one thing with you this morning. I went to a site a few weeks ago. It's a spin off of another WWII forum that I would go to from time to time. Okay I thought, new beginning, let's see how this one goes. It's a general forum, so...
Anyway thought they would like to know about the article that just got published in WWII Magazine. So I told them all about it and NOTTHING. Not one reply. Absolutely no interest.
Can you imagine if a new person or heck, a current member of our forum told you guys the same news? Do you think it would be ignored here? NO! I felt very belittled. I will never go back. Even though the forum is a new one, the same people followed over and have their own little clique. I felt like, who the hell does SHE think SHE is?
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I'm only human and it really hurt my feelings.
