I don't see anything wrong with posting that thread in the Lounge or OOT. I thought that the point of the different general discussion forums was so the poster could control what kind of discussion took place. If Mat wants more replies, but perhaps more chaff in with the wheat, he could post it in OOT.
Also, I'm not saying Politics would be right for that thread, but we've had a lot of talk about guns there in the wake of Virginia Tech, including some more general interest talk outside of their legality. There seems to be a correlation between posting in Politics and gun ownership. Sometimes I'm happy we're all on the internet. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
