Bit hard to expect otherwise Paul - you quickly become the online guru for all things miltary as you gather info and colate it all. :P
Speaking for myself, I'd say you're doing an awesome job and creating a resource I'd be lost without!
As for the topic in hand, I can't add much beyond an observation that going back to pre-internet research options may yeild the best result - actually picking up the phone, writing letters, visiting libraries, hitting up snitches, etc. We all get lost in thinking the net has all the answeres sometimes (I know I often do and research, background checks, etc are my bread and butter).
