I'm just a newcomer to this board, but I am a Vancomaniac. One thing that is superfluous, though, is the incompetent approach certain people take to warfare conducted here.
In the hope of being able to raise warfare to a more sophisticated level, I will offer a few hints in several postings under this thread (and it means that I can quote Sun Tzu, The Art of War, at some juncture).
First one - Nick Edwards (Nick2): if you're going to keep on copying things out of books, and using the passages here to flex your wannabe-Kokkor pseudo-muscles, you really should state the book and author you get the passages from. Passing these passages off as your own thoughts is known in scientific circles as plagiarism, and has a very bad reputation, dear boy.
