That message is dated 4 July 2000.

In your own message in that thread, dated 5 July 2000:

http://lists.firedrake.org/gzg/200007/msg00085.html

you wrote:
"I suspect this'll become somewhat more common with the explicit rules
on fighter rearming and reorganization in FB2."

Which sounds like FB2 had not been released at the time that you wrote
this.  From the messages of yours that I have read, you sound like an
accurate person, so I doubt that you would have phrased your response
in the future tense if FB2 had already been released.

My own view is best summed up by Roger Books' reply to Mr. Tuffley in
the same thread on 4 July 2000:

http://lists.firedrake.org/gzg/200007/msg00074.html

where he wrote:
"In terms of game balance how does being able to switch from small
craft
bay to hanger bay affect play?	Does it give a major advantage?  I
can't
really see how.  If it doesn't give an advantage then you are not 
improving game play, you are trying to enforce your one PSB, and your
PSB may be different than mine."
