I've been at JETC in Dallas, and in the precious spare moments I had to monkey around with GrogNews, blogger.com decided to crap out on me and won't let me post, or edit, from the phone, or my primary browsers on the laptop. No idea what their problem is, but I wasn't able to log in at all through Safari. I'll get the news caught up while sitting in DFW waiting for my flight home.

Grrrrr...
Some of you may have noticed that there was a Blogger outage yesterday. We lost a few posts, including the one on MMOWGLI and at least one UK in Action. I'm going to try to recover them, but if they don't come back, we're not going to try to recreate them.

Hmmmm...
So apparently some of our posts weren't showing up properly throughout the day. Since I was on the road when I posted some of them it was hard to know they weren't posting properly. Sorry. Should be good again now.

The Rules of Comments
With all deference to Danger Room from Wired.com, we're borrowing their posting rules, and massaging them slightly...
1) No spam - No commercial advertisements for anything not already mentioned in a post somewhere. If we're discussing a particular game, and you provide a location where said game can be purchased, fine. If we're discussing the JSF, and you provide a link for a "canadian farmacie di$count m3ds" your comments are getting deleted, and you're getting banned if we can.
2) Don't post under a bunch of different names, to make it look like you've got a whole posse that agrees with you. - Building a community requires that people get to know each other a bit, and multiple identities confuse the debate in a variety of ways.
3) No out-and-out bigotry, or hate speech.
Danger Room's examples were: "I hate the Israeli government" is fine. "I hope those blood-sucking Jews go to hell" is not. "Al Qaeda pisses me off" is fine. "Kill everyone in Afghanistan, and let God sort 'em out" is not.
That's not a bad start, but we'll massage that as needed.
To those, we are adding 2 more:
4) No personal attacks. You can argue. We expect differing opinions. We want different opinions. We do NOT want someone calling someone else an "asshole" or threatening to find them in real life. Bad.
5) No OPSEC violations. We don't want to know that your cousin's entire battalion from 3 MEF just rucked up for a 9-day mission in Tora Bora, and are fastroping in under cover of darkness and left yesterday. Real bad.
Thanks to you, the readers, who are going to be the lifeblood of this site. Let's just get ground rules out of the way first.
