I have very much enjoyed this board and all participants. It has taught me allot about the CW and allot about people in general. I think that this is one of the most open boards out there. I have scoped out a few others, but none are as user friendly, open minded, usefull, and well, just the greatest bunch of people I have had the pleasure to meet. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job putting together such a great gathering place. I can't even imagine what kind of complaints you would have received. My only complaints are my own, that I am not a computer geek and sometimes get frustrated with my own doings.

Thanks again so much for putting up with all of us and giving all of us a place to share, gab, debate, and meet people with the same common love of the Civil War.

Bill & Ami,
Great site. I enjoy it much and I've met some people that I now consider to be my friends. There is a lot of good info on this site.
Thanks, Martin

Default Best site

Admiral aporter said it well in his introduction:

ACW 115 578 4,596
CWT 850 5,550 36,371


I suppose to a statistician this may or may not mean something, but it seems to me that it means that on this site, there are more people here, with more CW interests, and with more opinions/points of information, than on the other sites (tho I don't know of any other good ones with which to compare).

I find this place where I can be surrounded by other civil war "buffs". Its just like reenactments, I get to spend the weekend with History buffs! But this is better I can spend 24/7 here


This is a great message board!!

Keep up the good work!

Dear Mike & Ami,

I have been posting here at CivilWarTalk for a long time now, and I just thought I ought to take a few moments and thank you both for providing this excellent forum on the Civil War.

I have learned so much from so many learned people here, but none of it would have taken place if you both had not made the effort to provide this place for me and all the others who come here.

Thank you for putting up with me and my own very set ways and thanks for helping me learn so much about my favorite time in history.

It is deeply appreciated.
Unionblue

And now ... the rest of the story. This darn board eats up all my time. Check the mail when I get up. Check the mail sometime midday. Check the mail right before bed time. It's a convenient excuse for breaking up a project -- time to check the mail. Hanging the door can wait, checking the mail can't. You should be ashamed of yourself for putting such addictive stuff out there.
