The Signpost FTW. If I may make a suggestion: can you try to schedule Signpost reposts around dates that are thematically similar to the subject of the blog, like Veterans Day or Memorial Day?

I think that this won't be an issue but German media described 9/11 as a Kamikaze attack, where English-speakers associate kamikaze with a particular theater of war.

Thanks Victor, I didn't know that but can see why they'd use the word. Still, by that definition, a kamikaze is any plane that flies into something with malicious intent, which still fits here!
@Pine, I'll email you off-list. It's something I do want to start doing.
