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.
