Have you ever emailed someone to thank them for the BA or vise versa?

Nope, never ever received one of those. Someone must have sensed something in one of your answers or questions and reported it to the Y! A Staff.

The Yamster really does care.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
