When we reach 1000...

... which won't take that long. Shall we carry on or restart at 0? Whoever will repeat a post will be flogged with a wet noodle

O this is a tough one. Let me see

- if we restart than I have to check every time did anybody already post same thing
- if we continue then I will not be able to post all those ww2 destroyers because I couldn't find any above 900

Yap, I vote for destroyers, I mean to restart all thing
