I just have to add - after my last few posts in this sub-orum, that I am having an absolute blast on this topic. I had no clue, when I signed up for this forum mostly for the "what-if" sub-forum - that I would end up arguing/debating/discussing so much in this sub-forum, and using more of my law and theology degrees here than my history degree.

And yes, I do have degrees in law, theology and history. Now if I can just find the time to get my PhD in History....

timewalker,

Good luck in getting your PhD.

Sincerely,

PS This board is a real blast, isn't it?
