Please post some of your own thoughts or comments to this thread - a question maybe - or i'll have to lock this thread. The history forum is not designed for posting naked articles. I mean, you might as well have just posted the link as your post? It's not really any different, except that you're saving me the effort of clicking a link if i want to read what 'you' have to say.
