This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I may have gone a little overboard with the redactions, but you can't be too careful.

When I showed this picture to him, my dad pointed out that my great-grandfather was demobilized a week after the end of WWI.

Bah. We were trying to buy a house older than that. And it wasn't a fancy "heritage" house either.
