It seems you missed the signature of FreeBSD co-founder Jordan Hubbard
> moderator of rec.guns
or maybe that this is a reference to a news group[1] which was the internet of 1987?

- 67726e 12y agoBBS aside, you'd think a subscription to Guns & Ammo would suffice for that kind of stuff.
- LyndsySimon 12y agoNot even close, at the level of detail in the post. Gun magazines are notoriously bad, and pretty much rewrite the same handful of articles over and over.
- LyndsySimon 12y agoMy apologies, I was mostly being hyperbolic by saying there was "no Internet". My experience with BBSs and newsgroups is quite limited, considering I was three years old when this was published :) Do you have any idea of the membership of rec.guns in 1987? My favorite forum shows 6,188 users logged in right now, and 6.7m unique visitors in April of the year.
