Forrest, In the last couple of years many people with UK interests left the list due to the attitude of the then new American list owner, and certain ex US military whom kept insisting that the USA alone won the war and rescued Europe from the axis forces, I challenged this so called ex US Col about his attitude, in a politically polite manner and received many US thank you's but the list owner on another list misunderstood a comment I made and took offence - an private exchange took place and I cut off replies and exited the WW2 list. Therefore I for one will not entertain this now American List, but I applaud your efforts and thank you for your knowledge sharing on the Great War List. Alan...
