| I would second Spidge's comments. Personally, I think that:
1) the pre-1939 and post-1945 conflicts were added after due consideration that WW2 wasn't an isolated event and that there is a linearity to history
2) Modern weapons etc is a great idea. However, to me that thread really became interesting when members contributed personal experiences. So thank you DL, Morse and Adrian
3) Keeping on topic is a tricky issue. There's a difference between topics going off topic because of some pedantic arguement between two or more members (which I would frown upon) and going off topic by virtue of an interesting tangent being debated (which may then merit a whole new thread for that subject)
4) Leniancy, like respect, has to be earnt, not automatically given.
