##Good points.

#Agreed.
#
##I've been thinking, can we start calling 'assault rifles' something
##better, such as 'service rifles'.  That is what they are, after all.
##Yes, its fun to type 'Evil Assault Rifle {tm}', (I do it), but we

#and I'll add them to the "potentials" list.
#The initial list follows:
#RELOAD		REVIEW		HOME DEFENSE 		CCW/CWP
#QUESTION 	PISTOLS		REVOLVERS		NFA/FULL-AUTO
#RIFLE		SHOTGUN		MILITARY WEAPONS	AMMUNITION/AMMO
#ARMOR		DEFENSE GUNS	DEFENSE AMMO		COMPETITION-RIFLE
#BOWS/CROSSBOWS	GUNSMITHING	LEGISLATION		COMPETITION-PISTOL
#TACTICS		FFL		SUPPLIES/SUPPLIERS	RUGER-BASHING
#
#OK, so, maybe RUGER-BASHING is a wee bit outside the charter. :-)

Aw, James, do we hafta?  These distinctions look pretty artificial to me.
Besides, you've left out the category (and a major one at that) that 
seems most to interfere with the exchange of real information,
COOL-LOOKING.

I really think that forcing the truly fine information in this group
into a one dimensional format is a mistake.  From memory, I would
guess that some large fraction of the postings involve some large
number of the categories listed above, making much of our
posting difficult to categorize.

Of course, if we must, we must.
