I'm starting to consider myself an oldtimer (coming up on two years)
but that was before my time. I think there are only 3-4 people that
have been on the list longer than me: Gurth, Paolo, Granite, Sascha
and... sorry if I left anyone out.

Anyway, you've got me curious. How did the survey turn out (in
general)?

Aw jeez, how could I forget Paul? I think within a week of joining I got
to see you involved in a guns/ammo discussion with someone, including gram
weights, diameters, barrel lengths, and various other technical details.
The guns/ammo discussions are something I've never gotten involved in
because I know Paul is here (and Gurth to keep Paul honest :)
