--------------so ?

One fails to see precisely what relevance this has to the subjects of war
and medieval history; to the latter, obviously none; to the former, tenuous
at best, and only strengthened if one accepts as remotely on-topic a posting
relating to the civilian version of a military vehicle. One rather suspects
that this is merely an instance of spectacular ill manners, in the mass
dissemination of something which the poster finds of interest, and is so
obtuse as to believe others must find interesting as well because of his
necessarily superior qualities of intellect and discernment...a conclusion
one inescapably reaches by pondering the nature of many and various other
(cross)postings by the same author, on whatever strikes his fancy. This is
somewhat further reinforced by observing that the poster apparently has a
monstrous ego that places him in the select company of such as Douglas
MacArthur ("Deus vult" indeed...more vox diaboli than vox dei, from what one
can observe...and a more fitting signature might be "Obscuritam et Mendacium
et Dominatem"; the present inverse version is rather ludicrous when
juxtaposed with the majority of messages to which it is affixed. One does
applaud the fine, though surely unintentional, humour value, however.)
