I was indeed referring to the useful and nessecary topics in that specific section.

"If you are typical of the sort of person that I am likely to encounter in this forum, this is not the place for me. I am used to some courtesy. So, I throw out the challenge - am I welcome or am I not? It is your choice. I believe that I have something to offer: after all, I have been a student of the Roman army for over 40 years. I was probably studying the subject when you were still in short trousers. However, it is no skin off my nose whether I make my contribution here or elsewhere. My experience of this forum so far has not been a happy one but I am prepared to give it a go. Are others prepared to encourage me?"

Let me elaborate:

I am definetely not the typical person you will encounter on this forum...

I am the official forum nutter.

I am the Oni:



who gets chastised by the mods about every other period of time because of "criticising" and ridiculing people who boast about their own scholarship and knowledge, especially when they have never published anything noteworthy in Scientific magazines under peer review, as well as those who do not seek.

I am highly critical, especially about my own knowledge.

I know nothing.

My ultimate and only knowledge is emptiness:



I welcome you wholeheartedly however, especially because of your seemingly rough start.

On this forum you will find a lot of interesting topics about anything ancient. You can converse about these with hobbyists and scholars alike, re-enactors, experimental archaeologists, weapon makers and what have you. It is the best forum out there for these things.

What you should need to make your credo is : Search and thou shall find.

No need to browse through thousands of posts, nor ask "irrelevant" questions about forum reward systems, what time it takes to get colours under your name et cetera.

Just go with the flow and you will be fine, and dont feel unwelcome.

You are more than welcome !

Just be:



Fast like the wind,

Silent like a forest,

Intrusive like the fire,

Immobile like a mountain.
