I'm not in charge of who's of the bang list. I just occasionally ping the bang list on what I think is an article of interest. Not sure who is in charge. Maybe I should be pinging the person in charge and let them decide if the bang list should be pinged.

Hope I haven't been irritating anyone.

The *bang list is not a group of posters. It is an archive of articles related to guns and gun control.

When you type *bang list into the To box, the forum software automatically files a link to the article there at the archive so that anyone interested in that topic can go there to find it. This is the way we used to organize various subjects here.

JR has stopped allowing us to put in new categories because we've switched to the Topic/Keyword system instead.

Not all of the files have yet been converted, and apparently the *bang list is one of them.
