ROTFL Well such pages are invariably filled up by the very same types who frequent that other site that I live in - Bharat-Rakshak - I get to read quite a few takes on the issue.. On a more serious but unrelated note - the enthusiasts who initially congregated on a few sites on the net seem to have had a salutary effect on the media at least in India with a gradual and visible improvement in the quality and content of reporting. A fair number of mainstream media reporters are also members of fora such as Bharat-Rakshak and Airforces monthly. Strategypage is an old friend. shiv
