But there are Japanese Zeppelins. Or actually, just one. Which was
built in Germany. You think it is suspicious? Well, so did the
Russians, who didn't let the thing fly through their territory so it
had to be shipped. It spent a good piece of last summer in Finland
waiting for the flight permits, and the local papers carried pictures
of the Graf Zeppelin's visit of Helsinki in 1930 and articles like
"Zeppelins, bringers of doom" coupled with stories of first world war
German volunteer bombing aircrews with no parachutes - if they didn't
freeze to death in their machine gun stations, the British developed
incendiary rounds would set their ship on fire - it would descend
but sometimes loose enough heavy parts when crashing to rise again
never to be seen anymore. What a horrible way to die.


Makes a great propaganda poster though:

I used to have a reprint of that poster on my wall.

Actually, the new Zeppelins are quite small. It was serviced
in an aircraft hangar - tells something of the relative progress
rates of lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air vehicles.

There's a firefox extension that lets you just right click and fill in the
blanks.

I suppose that's why you only had time you make 18 posts to this NG yesterday

Yes, because I can do those fairly quickly, and don't have to waste
time going to two different web sites to see something about which the
poster provided no clue as to the contents.

Exactly what is it that you think I'm claiming?

That test firing of this missile is routine and would've happened with
or without TPS support.

But that's not *my* claim. Others have made it, and it's also a necessary
component of being "operational", which that missile is.

Kyle told you that testing of the R-29R Volna Missile _isn't_ routine.
Hasn't been since 1999.

If it were scheduled once every 20 years, it's *still* "routine".

Pay attention next time. I killfiled you for unsubstantiated claims, and
like any other net troll, you just changed your server again.

"The Society did not cause the test to happen; the
test would have been conducted anyway, since they are routine."

You wrote that. It sure the hell is your claim. Your unsubstantiated claim.

If you killfile for unsubstantiated claims, how do you explain your long
tedious exchanges with "copyboy"?

If you plonk trolls, how is it you're arguing with "*"? It's hard for me
to decide who's getting the upper hand in that battle of the titans.

That's as accurate as your other claims. Tabletop Telephone's been my
server since 1997.
