Subscribe to the bigweek.general newsgroup and see how the other side lives.

For those of you who haven't realized it yet, you'll find our communities have more similarities than differences.

Agreed :-)

I stopped by there quite a long time ago. It was so fun to see how people were preparing for a large pacific scenario. We had just fought a many week long campaign in WarBirds, New Guinea, and finally stepped out to say hi and have fun, we had ;-)

They were just the same dweebs as we in WBland ;-) Actually found some familiar guys who I had known in British AW ages ago!

Are you sure those addresses are right?  Is the bigweek.general missing alt. or another prefix?  Is news.bigweek.org supposed to be an http address?  Neither comes up.
