<HTML>Hello Chad,
I don\\\'t know why Captain Duffy just asked \\\"why\\\". The best person to ask would be Captain Duffy himself. He provides his e-mail address as a means of contacting him if that\\\'s your preference. If you don\\\'t have an e-mail account or even a PC of your own, it is very quick and easy to get a free, personal e-mail account at hotmail.com. You could then access your e-mail regardless of what computer you\\\'re using.
If you\\\'d rather use the forum to communicate, I would think that a less aggressive and condescending tone may provide better results. Had I been on the receiving end of the post you directed to Captain Duffy, I probably would not have wasted my time responding either, as I would have assumed that you were looking for a fight rather than a discussion.
If my suggestions sound as if I am part of the \\\"forum police\\\", that you have mentioned in other posts, then I am guilty as charged. I believe that we who participate in this forum are responsible for policing ourselves in order to maintain the basic civility and order required for this forum to achieve its primary goal: the exchange of information pertaining to u-boats.
Regards,
