Hi Rex,

As another old coot set in his ways, I accept change when warranted, but the drastic change I see in the site has very obviously driven others away also. I see a dramatic drop off in posts and mainly what I see is notices of battle days. I miss corresponding with many people, but have not seen any posts from most of those with whom I have exchanged notes with in the past few years. Maybe I'll have a post when I return from Israel. It's been postponed until mid March but I expect to be there for at least 2-3 weeks...unless we have to strike Iran, in which case I could be busy. I still have my two M-51s, but would settle for a single 1;1 Merkava.
