Whatever happened to Eklectik Skeptic? .His nemesis was quite akin to your digital personality.  I remembered the username and didn't write it down.  Boise Idaho. 

I'll agree with  @Deezer Shoove   The Ping Pong Chat is annoying for me personally.  These guys get a rush on it.  BV is the troll master zoo keeper and feeds them reguraly.  I couldn't do it.

I am imposing self imposed breaks.  I wasted away in this place in 2020 in unemployment. The been there done that forum blues are setting in. When do I get a raise?... Anyway, on the outside clicking the activity button brings up all recent activity.   It's nice to scroll through all recent posts. When logged in it is just my digest.

Did you hear Iran bought 500 Hawsong 18 Missiles from North Korea? 15,000 km range?

Based on current reports, there is no evidence that Iran bought 500 Hwasong-18 missiles (15,000 km range) from North Korea. While Iran and North Korea have a long history of missile technology cooperation, the reports concerning large-scale, recent transfers of such advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are not supported by available intelligence.

Key Findings:
Hwasong-18/17 Capabilities: The Hwasong-17 and -18 are North Korea's largest ICBMs, with reported ranges around 15,000 km, designed for North Korea's own nuclear deterrent.
Historical Transfers: Reports from 2005-2012 suggested Iran purchased a small number (around 19) of Musudan (BM-25) missiles, which had a much shorter range of approximately 2,500–4,000 km.
Current Cooperation: Recent reports indicate ongoing cooperation on technical support for rocket development rather than the sale of 500 ICBMs.
