- It would seem that some sites didn't carry the newgroup for dc.talk.guns,
- as it was created without discussion, in a knee-jerk reaction to the
- people discussing (ad nauseum) the various pro/con gun aspects of
- the great Earth Area. Lobby your system administrator to create the
- newsgroup.
-
- (I can call call it a knee-jerk reaction, 'cause I sent the newgroup)
-
- If we could just all play happily, and everyone creates the group,
- the dc.general area could once again foster productive discourse.

- PS -- I understand the reason that most sys-admins didn't honor the
- newgroup message. I probably wouldn't have either, in my past life
- at the UM campus.
