Right...

A U.S. Marine friend of mine once trained with the Royal Marines for a month or so and was in England. The Royal Marines had a social event during which they celebrated some memorable victory some 300 years ago. The specific battle they were celebrating escapes me.

One of the Royal Marines asked my friend: Do the U.S. Marines celebrate battle victories like this?

To which my friend replied: "Nah! There would be too many to celebrate."

If you want a job done right, send the Marines.

I like the new setup. I didn't think it was time yet to send in the Marines just yet, and I did have the distinct notion that the Senate would oppose that move, but I'm glad for the change all the same. It's easier to see the important things right off the bat.

My first impression of the new homepage is that it looks a little cluttered. But, I guess I'll have to get used to it.

I wish you'd warn us first when you're about to do stuff like that. We old people (I'm 54) shouldn't have our hearts jolted like that, so suddenly!

I had Rich shift it off the thread pages as it was directly there as well; to me it was information overload. It's not so bad now, in that regard.
