Hey Ken,
Rule 2 is not about restricting information. What did the second paragraph say?
What I meant was that someone could ask something like \"Can someone tell me what U-boats were at sea on Nov 13, 1943 in the Mediterrean and which ones sank ships before returning to port?\" - The Conning Tower could answer this question easily and where else could you get this information unless wading through source after source at length?
This is what I am talking about, data mining using our databases and then simply glue it here on the forum thereby acting as a \"link\" to the members area for those who do not wish to sign up yet have complex questions/needs. Not about restricting information, but rather not exposing our years of work to anyone who asks a Conning Tower member.
Perhaps rule 2 should be better worded but I thought it said pretty much what I meant though.
