<HTML>One more thing Ken,
I misread your post to a point. Of course there is no restriction whatsoever on material that you can get from other sources. I\'m unappy with myself that someone could come to that conclusion (I\'ll reword, or remove the #2 rule tonight).
I only meant specific database queries that are either extremely difficult or impossible to do without the members area. Nothing more.
The Forums have always been free and without much interference from us and will be that way while the the site is running (hopefully for many years to come).
So, in short, you can post whatever on the forum, but if the data comes from the members area just think about whether it can hurt or benefit that section before post. Sounds reasonable?
We at uboat.net have another \"layer\" of data that is not yet on the members area where there is even more extensive information. If the Conning Tower is successful and people treat it with respect of our hard work that data will be placed into the area as well in due time.
I just put that rule there to try to foresee some potential misuse (someone posting page after page of unchanged MA data for example), it was never intended to limit anyone for normal good use.
Hope to see you on the Tower Ken! Great view from here, plus the air is a lot nicer and you can smoke as well!
