Let me join in on the chorus of kudos for Dave and Bill and all the contributors as well. The site is awsome.

From a (now) civilian point of view I have recommended the site to my students ever since I discovered it. In looking over the members list I have found a few of them (there were only 20 to begin with - I only teach one course a semester) to still be lurkers on the site. This fall, in my forthcoming course on small wars, I will make the recommendation stronger and urge them to contribute. I won't make it required reading but I suspect that we will have some new contributors.

Finally, Zenpundit's analysis of this phenomenon is both superb and fascinating. And, last (I know I said 'finally' above) you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Cheers
