Three newbie questions
Hello, I've been lurking, and there are 3 things that I need to find
out in case I look stupid if I start posting.... 1. Is there a FAQ? 2. If not, is there a list of some of the acronims used here? I recognize a few, but there are some strange ones.... 3. Can anybody recommend some websites relating to the space shuttle program in general and specificaly to possible design faults responsible for accidents? Thank you! -- Regards, Mike Walker |

There are a number of people here who don't engage in the crap spewed by that bunch of insecure emotional two year olds known as "HORS", and you know it. Hooking up with a gang of abusive, overage delinquents isn't a viable alternative to agreeing with John Maxson. I can't honestly say, from what I've read and seen, that I agree with John, but it'll be a cold day in hell when I associate with HORS. Steve |

Steve Your own personal insult-spewing (such as that posted above) is why you're a resident of many a killfile. Do you have any reason why the "Human O-Ring Society" (a term essentially coined by JTM in the first place) even exists?
