Are there any rules, formal or informal, when making these questions? Must it be connected, somehow, to the Pacific War?

The vast majority of people on this forum are fine - some are up themselves with their view of what can and can't be posted - but thankfully they are in the (very small) minority.

Why not add a question to my Who is She? ETO thread if yours is not PTO related?

Most folks here are knowledgeable about World War II whatever the theatre.

I'm not knowledgeable [:(] I just play the game and have fun [:)]

I did not want to single out individuals Numdydar as that would not be fair. But as you raised the matter, I am (with heavy heart you understand [:D]) prepared to name names.

Roll call of (lets be charitable) less than knowledgeable folks on this forum [ahem - clears throat, leaves a slight pause, while raising an eyebrow at the audience to magnify the importance of what is being said]:

Chickenboy....

...that's it. That's the list

Thank-you very much

Not really, Orm. The "what is it" ilk has been around for some time on the WiTP:AE community "General" board. Some folks put an "OT" warning prefix on their first post of the thread (subject line) to alert some of the more persnickety out there if something is likely to be considered off-topic. But pretty much anything pertaining to the Pacific War is fair game and decidedly ON topic.

It *would* be nice if Warspite1 adhered to more of the forum rules in his posts. I think he should start all of his threads with the following label just to be sure: "WARNING: CONTAINS RUBBISH". [;)]

[Orm]

So if I put a OT label on it then I may ask about a tank used in Europe exclusively? Or a WWI ship? Or a ship from a neutral country? Or a modern ground to air missile?

Are any of them ok or all of them?

Edit: Sorry. I forgot to attach the warning.

Warning: Contains rubbish. [:)]

I wouldn't have an issue with you posting an OT topic such as that here. After all, people post OT threads here about movies, adult beverages, other non-PTO militaria here all the time, mate. [8D]

I MUST DISAGREE WITH YOU CB! [:-] Warspite should NOT place WARNING;CONTAINS RUBBISH above his threads. He should instead post "WARNING; CONTAINS COMPLETE AND UTTER RUBISH". Some environmental hazard warning logo's would not be amiss either. [:D][:D][:D]

But never , EVER post the phrase "Disregard". You have been warned! [:-][:D][:D][:D]

[warspite1]

Well I might talk rubbish, I might look rubbish - indeed I may be rubbish. But at least, unlike some on this forum, I can spell the word [:-]

Er dude - you forgot to change the heading back [8|]

On current evidence perhaps I should amend my earlier post, what?:

Were he Engish or some other resident of the UK (formerly Great Britian). But for the rest of the English speaking world (the one's who speak Noah Webster's English--the 1st English dictionary creator BTW--as opposed to that pidgin version espoused by those senile and moldy Oxford don's some years later in response).
