    Thanks for your continued work on this Prince, you must have nearly every website here by now

    I love the work of George Nafziger, he must be some kind of genius.

    I am pretty sure there are many, many more out there - some of which will of course require good language skills (or use of a flawed translation software). I have few of these up my sleeves to add to the listing at some point. I am also well aware that I do need to spend quite a bit of time reorganising the listing & in particular chopping out the deadwood....but I just don't have the time available at the moment (nor quite sure when I will ).

    I agree George Nafziger's work is excellent. I think he is just passionate about the subject matter like many of us....

    I could do this for you in some of my spare time, and PM the updated post to you, then all you need to do is copy/paste it in.
