I am a retired Army officer (artillery, MI, and chaplain). I have the privilege of teaching several classes in Colorado Springs to high school, college, and adults on comparative worldviews (biblical vs secular). As I read the various threads, some impress me as good for illustrating different worldviews. So, using some Army terminology, I mark "incidents" as "SPOTREPS" (spot report) and "descriptions of the current world scene" as "SITREPs" (situation reports). INTREP (Intelliegence Report) provides information of an event involving those of the "opposition;" INTSUM (Intelligence Summary) provides more general information. When I get home, I download these SPOTREPs and SITREPs to a database for future use.

Does that help?

BTW - there are a number of thread where I have offered extensive comment. But those usually are done from home where I have more time to thoughtfully contribute.

I come in here for a lively discussion about the j00s and I get a bunch of military jargon I haven't seen in years.

No, I recognized the terms, I just wondered why you didn't say more than that. But you explained it in the last sentence....
