OK, applying the KISS principle, and input from the fine readership and Moderator, I've come up with this list. It's short, but it is, I think, long enough to be useful. (PISTOL) (RIFLE) (SHOTGUN) (RELOAD) (FULLAUTO) (COMPETE) (DEFENSE) (AMMO) (FFL-NFA) (LAWS) (REVIEW) (ADMIN) Someone suggested that we use single-letter keywords; however, I think that could tend to be confusing (is "R" rifle or reload?). So, I'm putting forth these short monikers instead. AMMO seems like it could be covered under one of the other categories, but I'm thinking that it could encompass the discussions of Black Talon vs. CorBon, but that begs the question: where do you put 9mm vs. .45? I'd say under (PISTOL)...but... That's something to think about. (ADMIN) is a Keyword for the Moderator; (REVIEW) is for the book/gun/etc reviews which occasionally show up here; (LAWS) is for requests for laws, citations, etc. (as allowed by the charter and Moderator). The others should be fairly obvious. Like I said, I tried to be broad enough to keep it simple, but narrow enough to be useful... This is completely voluntary. If you don't want to use the keywords, you don't have to (although I have noticed that some people are using them already :-). Although we are armed, we aren't holding a gun to your head. ;-) OK, guys and gals, let's have some feedback. If there aren't any major objections to the categories, we'll move on to defining the subjects which fall under the various categories... James James P.
