- 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...
