There are about 6 threads started all at once with links to stuff he likes. He does it on a daily basis. Not many have much of a response. Do people follow these? Unusual? Yes or no? He seems like a civil person. |
John the OFM  | 13 Jul 2011 6:35 p.m. PST |
He's an enthusiast. Can't fault him for that. What's wrong with that? The ones that interest me, I click on. The ones that don't, I ignore. A lot of the grief on TMP could be remedied if people would follow that simple procedure, instead of trying to impose what interests THEM on TMP. |
| Garand | 13 Jul 2011 6:39 p.m. PST |
Tango is doing no harm. Like the OFM I click on some of his threads, some I don't. To be fair, this is true for the vast majority of people here on TMP. I enjoyed his link about naval wargames and pipe-cleaner missiles, something I had never thought about, not being a naval gamer

He links to a lot of cool stuff, much that I would miss otherwise. Got no problems with him and appreciate his posts. |

He has some interesting hobby links. Some make you think about what you are doing |
| sneakgun | 13 Jul 2011 7:19 p.m. PST |
All of the threads are about miniatures and gaming . I like them. |
| Florida Tory | 13 Jul 2011 7:21 p.m. PST |
His finds enrich my TMP experience. Another  Rick |
| darthfozzywig | 13 Jul 2011 7:22 p.m. PST |
I like many of Tango's posts. If I'm not interested, it doesn't hurt me to see them in the list. |
| galvinm | 13 Jul 2011 7:24 p.m. PST |
Ditto: if I think I like, I click. If not, I don't. |
| Jay Arnold | 13 Jul 2011 7:25 p.m. PST |
I applaud his enthusiasm. And some of his links are pretty cool, to boot. |
| GoGators | 13 Jul 2011 7:27 p.m. PST |
He links to cool pictures. I wish I had his kind of time to spend on gaming and the like! (and that I could speak more than one language; the only thing high school latin ever got me is nasty looks from people butchering latin pronunciation when I say the word correctly) |
Beowulf  | 13 Jul 2011 7:31 p.m. PST |
There is nothing wrong with contributing links. Some are really interesting. Keep it up, Tango! |
| cloudcaptain | 13 Jul 2011 7:41 p.m. PST |
Sneakgun has the measure of it. The posts are about wargaming. We need more of those. |
| morrigan | 13 Jul 2011 7:44 p.m. PST |
Glad he's on TMP. I enjoy his links. Thanks Tango! |
| Jovian1 | 13 Jul 2011 8:14 p.m. PST |
I like Tango01's posts, they show me what the other side of the pond is doing! |

He should be given an encouragement award.. |
| evilgong | 13 Jul 2011 8:45 p.m. PST |
He also has a knack of finding non-English language sites that I might not find, sb |
| Fonthill Hoser | 13 Jul 2011 8:49 p.m. PST |
He always digs up fascinating material. Two thumbs up from me. Hoser |
| Sundance | 13 Jul 2011 8:51 p.m. PST |
He seems ok now. With some of his previous noms jeu de guerre (this is about his fourth or fifth iteration on TMP – he claimed the others mysteriously stopped working in turn after a couple of months) he was known to troll by posting a lot of threads asking leading (i.e. trolling) questions (often politically charged) and when people responded he and his buddies would jump all over them but then deny that they had any kind of agenda or bias. Now he just posts these links. Based on that experience, I just ignore him. |
| ochoin deach | 13 Jul 2011 8:53 p.m. PST |
I think he's harmless & I have no problems with him. If you do, that's what the stiffles are for, surely? |
| Mapleleaf | 13 Jul 2011 9:01 p.m. PST |
He used to post"copyrighted" material without any credit but seems to have cleaned up his act. |
| raylev3 | 13 Jul 2011 9:23 p.m. PST |
He's an enthusiast. Can't fault him for that. What's wrong with that? The ones that interest me, I click on. The ones that don't, I ignore. OFM nailed it. |
| Custer7thcav | 13 Jul 2011 9:39 p.m. PST |
combatpainter NO Tango for you! LOL

All of the threads are about miniatures and gaming . I like them. Quite true, in fact, who can fault him for that – many of us (myself included) have posted as many non-miniature/gaming threads here – so who's worse? BTW, Combat, that would be "Mango" no Tango  |
| Who asked this joker | 13 Jul 2011 10:06 p.m. PST |
Like them. Like OFM, I check out the ones I like and sometimes even comment. |
| Striker | 13 Jul 2011 10:29 p.m. PST |
I wouldn't say I "follow" his posts but I usually click them because they often have subjects, minis, or models. I don't comment on most of them because there's not much to say. No problem with his posts though. I don't recall his past posting habits though. |

The internet is so bloody big I haven'yt got time to search it for all the cool stuff out there. Tango is like a wargamers google he finds links to lots of cool stuff I wouldn't of found. Not everything he links to is my cup of tea but some of the stuff he finds is really good. |
| (Nameo Falso) | 14 Jul 2011 2:12 a.m. PST |
I like the chap. In saying so I am probably in breach of my marriage vows as he is an Argentino. |

He serves to remind that the hobby is not merely not confined to THE United States, but isn't an exclusively Anglo hobby, either. |
| Geoff B | 14 Jul 2011 3:40 a.m. PST |
I like his links
..some really cool things that I wouldnt have seen otherwise! |
| Stephens123 | 14 Jul 2011 3:48 a.m. PST |
Just Enjoy! Amicalement Mark |
| The Gray Ghost | 14 Jul 2011 3:59 a.m. PST |
His links were, in the past, also infected. Also His english seems to fluctuate, He either nails it perfectly or it's so fractured you can't understand it, I know He copies and pastes a lot of it but there are times.. I'm with Sundance on this one, personally I think He is someone from the TMP past. |

Tango does find some very interesting stuff amongst the links he provides. Nothing wrong with enthusiasm! Armands English also seems to have got better with practice, which helps. |
| CAPTAIN BEEFHEART | 14 Jul 2011 4:37 a.m. PST |
Good stuff comes his way. like everyone says, no interest don't click---if so be amazed. |
| Lou from BSM | 14 Jul 2011 4:40 a.m. PST |
I see Antonio's point though
. Armand is very enthusiastic, no doubt. But he seems to be interested in EVERYTHING!!!! He has 2800+ posts in just over a year; about 7 posts per day. If he is really interested in all things historical, especially as they pertain to wargaming in general, then kudos to him. Personally, I think he's trying to catch up to the OFM
|
| Klebert L Hall | 14 Jul 2011 4:44 a.m. PST |
He thinks things are cool. He wants to share the cool things with other people. Seems like pretty ordinary behavior for the internet. -Kle. |
| Andrew May1 | 14 Jul 2011 5:12 a.m. PST |
He posts links to some amazing work, and in many cases, it's stuff not many here would ever look at. I enjoy his input. And he is really enthusiastic about what he posts, that is also good. I remember a few years ago there was this guy who joined TMP, and then began to bombard this place with thread after thread of ideas, questions, wishlists etc. People found that a bit much at first, , all that enthusiasm, and some complained and started threads about the guys motives. It was all very McCarthyistic. Anyway, that guy is still here and is part of the TMP landscape. As is Armand, and more power to him. So thanks for the links Armand, keep em coming. Amicalement, Ace |

PS: guess who I'm talking about in the above post, it's not difficult

| Karellian Knight | 14 Jul 2011 5:16 a.m. PST |
I like his posts as others have said he finds interesting things I haven't the time to look for or even knew existed. |

| cfielitz | 14 Jul 2011 6:08 a.m. PST |
Sometimes what he finds and posts is a miss, but there are other times when he really digs up some interesting stuff. I'd like to know more about him. Does he do any gaming? If so what? He is a man of mystery |
