You are really tenacious. :-) It seems that I should lower my expectations regarding what's on-topic and what's not. Lets say, every topic is fine as long as the poster asks a question about a technical problem he has and as long as the topic has nothing to do with weapons. Is that definition ok for you? But I'm merely a regular member of this ML and this is just my personal opinion, so never mind me. Talk about what you want, e.g. (historical) Tanks, (historical) Submarines, (historical) H-Bombs... Sorry for this tinge of sarcasm. ;-) Maybe we should finish the discussion here because it is getting off-topic more and more. :-)
