A private list turns out to use the word "slamfire" very differently that I do; but I use it only of pre-870 pump shotguns, while they use it for rifles and pistols.
Finding nothing in my standard dictionaries of synonyms and of etymologies, I tried crafting a post, as neutrally as I could, to rec.guns. Then I remembered another list -- and maybe also rec.hunting. I haven't posted much to r.g in recent years, nor maybe ever from this address; so it make a while at best for that post to appear on the news servers. But I hate to go to the trouble of crafting it all over again. I did not, unfortunately, interrupt the job and save it as a draft at any point. Would pan-0.133-4.fc12.i686 by any happy chance have kept a copy on my machine anywhere? (I have it set to use gedit.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
