Fair disclosure: I have just recently been banned from Gopachy.com . . . first time ever I've been banned from any discussion group . . . likely for just cause. I have no problem with the decision of Gopachy moderators . . . all things considered. IMHO, I was banned not because I was too conservative, which I was definitely not, but because I was too rude, and so very aggressive and violated the forum rules. Being banned was not a surprise.

As one of my favorite teen year authors wrote: "And so it goes." -- Kurt Vonnegut.

But . . . being banned . . . I could not forward this announcement appropriately in any other forum.

I looked him up. He currently serves with the RI National Guard, CO A 2/19 SFG (Special Forces Group). So, he shows up once a weekend for drill, and deploys with his SFG whenever it comes up. So, that is how he can do what he does with History Channel. He is a SFC, Sergeant First Class (E7).
