I wonder if this will pass?
Too many political appointees in LEO organization high muckety muck positions.. they are always the ones with the objecions, and always the ones on the side of gun control..
In order to reduce multiple postings to the *bang_list and repeat pings to the same article, and because Joe Brower has a very big list for these topics, I ping him first most of the time.
It depends on how much importance I think the article has also. Sometimes Joe seems to be otherwise occupied. So if I think the story needs rapid exposure, then I'll put it on the *bang_list directly.
If I see someone else's story that I think is worthy of the *bang_list, then I'll bang it directly. That's the method to my madness.
