I am a descendent of George Armstrong Custer.... Do I get bonus points for _________; I am retired Army and Dept of State too.
Well, if you don't hold against me the fact that I live right down the road (by Montana standards) from the Little Big Horn, I'll toot the whistle and welcome you aboard, sir.
Bonus points seem to be awarded around here in the same manner as Atta Boys/Ah s***s from some mysterious outside source, but since the primary occupation is questioning/verifying just about every speck of information we can gather (without jumping too briskly in other poster's rice bowls) the points are purely ceremonial. (JMHO)
Swordmaster regularly posts updates to a compendium of data points and definitions (the whole thing's over 700 pages now IIRC) so there's plenty of background for your light reading pleasure. There's a fairly wild variety of folks around here ranging from wicked smart to the occasional smarta$$, so strap in, hang on and don't take anything personally.
..."Jumper", eh? Is that 82nd or 101st?
