Hubbard) Newsgroups: mod.rec.guns Subject: Subjects and signatures Message-ID: <127@ucbjade.BERKELEY.EDU> Date: Thu, 24-Oct-85 15:27:46 EDT Article-I.D.: ucbjade.127 Posted: Thu Oct 24 15:27:46 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 27-Oct-85 00:24:36 EDT Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 28 Approved: jkh@ucbjade Author: ucbvax!jkh (the moderator) Well, now that things seem to be moving again, it's time for a friendly reminder to *please* include reasonable subject lines. Re: mod.rec.guns just doesn't cut it. As usual, I'll make one up if I have to, but.. Also, your bone-headed moderator has gotten into the nasty habit of saving mail with the 'w' command which doesn't preserve most of the header. This means that I sometimes go back to post the saved message and find that I don't know where it came from! This is remedied by signature lines that some of you are kind enough to include.. It would be nice if everyone would do this. I sometimes receive mail by some odd paths, so including a signature with an address from one or more backbones makes it a lot easier for others to reply. Now for the obligatory posting: The .45 vs 9mm debate will probably continue into the next decade or so, so I'm electing to stay pretty much out of it (well, almost).. However, I can agree with the point most people make about the advantages of DA capability in an auto. Carrying a cocked-n-locked .45 makes me *queasy*. Now S&W has announced a DA .45! My heart leaps with anticipation.. Can it be? The *gun* I've been waiting for? (The Bren 10 was neat, but who's seen it or any ammo?) Short of reading a magazine article about it, I have heard nothing about this piece.. Anybody out there got one? Reviews? Jordan Hubbard ucbvax!jkh
