To add to what Jim said,

I'm guilty as well but lately its been a bit messy on the board. Do us a favor if your going to stray off topic, put a warning in your subject line "OT" or "Off Topic" or even a title that relates to the post just to give us all warning so we don't have to open a post that we don't care about.

Also the subject matter as of late is not even close to being related to Civil War subjects. Lets be aware of where the post string is headed. One or two strays is okay but anything over that and we're losing our focus.

Thanks
