Moderating:
Thank you, yes we are. I’m giving the thread a VERY brief pause (5 minutes) so everyone has a chance to read this note and move back to discussing the current situation rather than past situations in this thread. No note directed at anyone, it seemed a benign, organic side track, but please spin off your own thread if you want to discuss historical declarations of war. Though, sadly for the world, speculation on if air war without boots on the ground can effect regime change is on topic.
How to Reply as a linked Topic
Click Reply, in the upper left corner of the reply window is the reply type button, looks like a curving arrow point to the right.
Choose Reply as linked topic and it starts a new thread. As an example, you can choose GD, IMHO or The Pit for it.
That is actually the best method.
