VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Verra cool, Jane! And "Bliadhna mhath ur" to you!
In reply to: Jane 's message, "Oh goodie, something weird I actually KNOW about! I do Civil War Re-enacting with my husband. We are in the First Virginia Artillery (Confederates). Our gun crew tends a 10 pound Parrot Rifle and a smaller gun called a Mountain Howitzer. My husband is my gun sergeant. In order to have worked the gun back then you had to have the education required to plot the trajectory and drop of the shot over a distance of a football field or two. Only the most highly educated men were assigned to the artillery, the guns were valuable, and their work extremely important in the battles, covering the advance of the foot-soldiers." on 14:17:29 01/01/08 Tue
