Oh, that REACT... I thought it was some sort of medicinal abbreviation...

It is...Reflux Esophagitis due to Air Combat Tragedy which was first described in 2004.

Here is the reference:

"A New Syndrome of Severe, Erosive, Reflux Esophagitis (REACT) Is Described Among Heavy Users of a New Computer Wargame", Halsey, W, Spruance, R, Nimitz, C, et. al., NEJM, Vol. 255, July, 2004, Pp. 1023-1028.

No, you just put in the URL - in order for other people to show it, you have to download the file, then upload it to Matrix Forums.

Most sites have stuff set up to prevent to do what you are doing - they consider it "theft of bandwidth" as they get charged for data taken from their site, but they actually are not getting a real hit to their site.

Endoscopic validation of REACT

....with the use of repeat endoscopy in a patient suffering from REACT, who rejected our recommendations for a 12-step program, we were able to link specific, anatomical lesions restrospectively with recalled traumatic events. If you will direct your attention to slide 12. Here the endoscope is about 2-3 cm above the LES with the scope oriented so that the anterior aspect of the distal esophagus is seen at the top of the screen. There are a number of lesions in various stages of healing. For example, the lesion labeled "leader bug", the first one to appear in this patient, is now showing good signs of healing. Curiously, as an aside, I should tell you that under Versed sedation, the patient kept saying.."MacArthur..where is MacArthur". <sustained laughter is heard in the room>

I had the same happen. Me as Japan, I spotted Enterprise and Lexington near Pearl a few days after I attacked. So I headed back. It did not go very well. Yeah the Enterprise and Lexington were sunk but i lost one carrier and the others were badly damaged. Heading home the long way around. [X(][:(][:@][8|]

A port attack on the west coast......if I were the allies, I'd say "bring it on"..........or, "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough"........or, "what are those red things doing so close to my big green things"...........or, " yes, I said toast with marmalade, now leave me alone, I'm playing a game, oh I mean working, yes working"........or, " just let daddy finish his work and then I'll read with you".................

We don't know exactly..she took four bombs (on Dec 9) from Enterprise and Lexington SBD's and was burning..but appears to be making pretty good speed.

Well, if you can take out 2 of 6 that won't be too bad. You replace them better and faster.

I like that you've taken to use the game map for describing battles, Mandrake. Excellente...

Subchaser's maps without hexes are nice on the eye. Because the Islands are amplified..it is much easier to see what is going on in large sea battles. The jpg conversions suffer, however. I need to find a better color for the Japs [:)]


"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
