Welcome back tabpub......how was the vacation?
Great.....except the cold that turned into an upper lung infection.....resulting in the brain cramp that you might or will read about soon either in this thread or another....just a reminder to all the little tykes out there......REACT is a dangerous thing......

Australia is great....have to run...ta.
Sing to the tune of "Man on the Flying Trapeze"
..Oh! We fly o'er the treetops with inches to spare,
There's smoke in the cockpit and gray in my hair.
The tracers look fine as a strafin' we go.
But, brother, we're TOO God damn low...

December 9th, 1941

Dear Diary:

I think I could just throw up right now...I really do....
Husband and Bill have really screwed the pooch here; and now the scuttlebutt has me set to take over this dog's dinner of a situation.
There ain't no justice in the world. Ernie is so mad he's frothing like he ate a whole box of Alka Seltzers and drank 10 gallons of Vichy water.....
I am tempted to go out and get bit by a snake so that I can go on medical leave and duck this assignment....
I will say this though, from the reports, the brown shoes really gave it their all today; they have my respect, and condolences.

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.

The reflux is caused when the Computer Wargame User vomits on seeing the combat results...
