I am fast becoming addicted to your Forums. While I'm at work, I get these nice little emails that let me know when a new post has been added to a topic that I have been watching so of course I am compelled to view it and a good bit of the time I am compelled to reply. All of this of course requires putting down my work for a bit. Blast you for creating such a nice little community of people to talk with.

In all seriousness, I find this site to be really well done. Congrats on a fine job.

I just let it run in the background. Usually on slow days I can spend more time on line. FYI I took some good shots (about 17) of the driver's compartment on an M1A1 from just about every conceiveable angle and will try to upload them this evening. This was for a guy on M-L and I did drag him over to our site as a registered user.

Anyway, if I keep the site running while I'm at work and if someone needs a photo of something, then I can take it while I'm here. Otherwise, I would see the post at night and I may forget to take the pictures the next day (has happened).

There should be a new option in your 'my profile' page. You click on 'My account' and then 'my profile'. There should be an option in there to set your flag.

That is exactly why I do my surfing and newsgroup stuff at work so that I don't cut into my quality modeling time.

I know that you are in school YodaMan so you don't have that luxury (or is it a curse).

I admit too, a certain addiction to the Forums. Thankfully, I have enough willpower (

) to get modeling done on the weekends...

NOW THAT'S JUST PLAIN RUDE TO BLAME THIS SITE FOR BECAUSE YOUR NOT GETTING YOUR WORK DONE....................."JUST KIDDING" I also seem to spend ALOT of time here. And if I'm not replying to a post that interest me then at least I am following some topic that you guys are talking about but might not interest me enough to reply. AND I would also like to add my warm fuzzies to say how much I enjoy this site and how it's so nice to have someplace to go and enjoy the company of fellow modelers and just plain old fashioned Gentlemen. NOT TO LEAVE OUT MRS PENNY:
So Thanks from the DAGGER Too!!

I too have fallen to the charms of this site. The other sites I used to visit regularly are getting quite jealous

As Matt said Yoda, the first step is admission of your addiction.
