It's archived. The archives are susceptible to seizure by the Law. You are asking us to answer the question "Would you commit a serious crime?" in a place where it might come back to haunt us should any of us ever be under investigation for a criminal offense of this nature. Leaving the scene of a crime and not telling the authorities is a Bad Thing(tm) that can have you in the penitentiary for a good long while. Saying "I would kill and run away" would seem like premeditation to any district attorney, and s/he could certainly convince a jury of that without much trouble. In short, no sane or prudent person will answer you with anything except "I would stay at the scene until the police got there unless my life was still in jeopardy if I hung around. If that happened I'd get to the nearest phone and call the police as soon as humanly possible." The System is bigger, badder, meaner, and more persistent than any enemy you're likely to have unless you have a lot more interesting life than I think you do. Not getting on its wrong side is very important even if, no, ESPECIALLY if you haven't done anything wrong.

My friend and master knifemaker Jerry Hossom just sent me his next generation Millennium Bowie to test, and it is so good that I just had to tell you guys about it! Jerry has been making knives for over twenty years, and has won many awards for his fighting bowies. His blades have developed an enormous following due to their amazing lightness, speed in the hand, toughness, and cutting ability. Over the past several months, Jerry has been working very closely with a few serious players, including myself and my friend, training partner and tremendous knife and sword player Jason Silverman of Executive Edge Martial Development, to develop a new line of blades and swords specifically tailored to folks like us. Each new design is rigorously tested and tweaked to maximize its combat effectiveness. The next generation Millennium Bowie that Jerry sent me is the first of this new Millennium Belt Series, and Jerry and I codesigned it to be particularly useful to FMA trained players like us. And it is all of that and more! But see for yourselves and then please tell me what you think. I have posted my results on BladeForums. Com. If you have a minute please look at the following sites. I believe that you will find them interesting: http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/001214.html and http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/001219.html Enjoy, Mario ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Sun, 9 Jan 2000 16:22:05 -0800 (PST) Subject: eskrima: . ------------------------------ End of Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V7 #8 ************************************** To unsubscribe from the eskrima-digest send the command: unsubscribe eskrima-digest -or- unsubscribe eskrima-digest your.old@address in the BODY of an email (top line, left justified) addressed to majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com.
