Michael,
I'd like to, but I don't think that's going to happen. It's all a matter of priorities. There just isn't enough time in the day to do everything that I should be doing. All the time that I have for old steamship stuff is taken up by the Olympics. I've already given up most of my other hobbies (classic car restoration, WW2 re-enacting) to devote more time to Titanic. If I spend the time to learn about every liner ever built, then I would have to take away from my paying job, family, etc., and that's just not going to happen. In my opinion, there is more to life than ocean liners of the past, so there is only so much of the topic that I am willing to tackle. Instead, I depend on people like the experts in this thread who are more devoted to and knowledgeable about the entire history of passenger steamship service for the perspective I need to understand my own research. If I have a tidbit of information based on my experience and/or research that is relevant to your ongoing discussions, then I will contribute; otherwise, I defer to the experts.
