I put that little part back in that you snipped. Tom Dowd is not here now, he
is not arguing this. Maybe he changed his mind, maybe he was just trying to
placate some people long ago when he announced it was wrong. Maybe a lot of
things happened.
The POINT is that the official gun is as listed in SR3, YOU are here telling
us that is wrong. I am not saying that way back when, before I had a computer
let alone an email account, Tom Dowd decreed that he meant the Slivergun to be
a certain way. YOU are arguing and telling everyone that we are wrong for
using the official gun. "Your way" means the way you are arguing the gun
should be, not "your way" teh way you designed it.
