A couple of milestones - 12,000 posts and 300+ members

Well done all.

We passed through 11,000 posts on March 7 so it's taken us less than three weeks to post the next 1,000!

You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Congrats WW2 Chat for a great effort. In the short period that I have been a member, I have found other members very willing to share their knwledge with all, and I have also found it to be a very happy forum where members joke with one another. Keep up the great work.

Andy and Spidge,

Only 6 months, that makes thoses figures even more incredible. I just hope some of those nuts from other forums don't come along and spoil this site
