Once again Conway, you make an enormous amount of sense. Very Happy

Alternative oil production is a great idea. But this war isn't, despite what some people think, about oil. It is about deposing someone who ranks right up there with Hitler and Stalin. I believe Hussein is a supporter of terrorists in many ways and after Sep 11 that is enough reason to remove him.

As for NK...I hope they are watching closely what our military is doing and what capabilities it has. Maybe that will serve as a deterent.

Time for that second cup of coffee. BTW, I've lost 13 pounds this year. Very Happy

Sometimes we tend to forget that our troops are predominately young people and they are in some tough conditions righ now.

Turn your speakers on and look at:

www.teasquadron.com/Soldiers

It takes a little while to load but is worth the wait.

Bad news. Apparently the guy who had that clip going has had to take it off due to expense. I don't understand those things but it is a shame. He had put together an outstanding tribute to the grunts.

He had a series of photos of our troops in Iraq set to Tom Petty's song "I Want Back Down". It was great.

I didn't look at it, but assuming it was streaming audio/video and attracted a large number of viewers, it could easily chew up several hundred dollars of bandwidth in no time. It's "little" behind the scenes things like that that make maintaining a large site so much more intensive than it might seem.

That just shows what a cyber-neanderthal I am. I had no idea what it costs to keep stuff like that going.

I suppose a high class website like this costs a dollar or two... Wink

That's why I always say just covering costs is a significant challenge for most sites....
