Thanks for the special ping! It's easy to detect the Old Guardsmen by their psyique and their haircut (I used to look like that 48 years ago ... ahem).

Keep up your good work and God bless you all for what you do!

And yes, please add me to your ping list, Mr T.

Real Good link, thanks. I can see where the Old Guard could be misunderstood as ‘toy soldiers’. But I don’t think many on FR do.

And thanks for the Old guard link used in the thread.
