Here's another thought - why don't the owners of Pprune introduce a forum for military non-aircrew, ex-military aircrew, ex-military non-aircrew, wannabe military, a forum for spouses of military personnel, friends and family of military, an RAF forum, a Navy forum and an Army forum. What about separating them out into various nations. While we're about it, I'm sure there are marginalised members so we could have a female military (and ex- and non-aircrew) forum, one for ethnic minorities etc.
That way, we could all stay in our own little worlds and never mix with people whom we would not otherwise have contact. Obviously only those people in each sub-forum have valid opinions and knowledge so therefore we would all know instantly that that person is to be respected and believed because they are a member or our own forum.
The little strapline above written by the forum title is a guideline to the sorts of threads and issues being discussed. It is not set in stone, it is not a requirement. The operative word surely, is "welcome".
