I just got the high mileage award in the mail for Frosch. Nice big box with a small grille jewel and a folder. Pretty heavy medal, but not the cloisonné of the older examples.

Re: [MBZ] Carbine Digest, Vol 106, Issue 71
After pulling tripe out of hog bellies on a meat packing company production line one summer at age 15 during WW-2, I never want to see a piece of trip again. It's called omentum in medicine, stores fat, and wraps itself around infections, cancer, etc. when they occur in the belly. If I want to eat fat, I'll eat that fine old Deep South dish called fatback or fat bacon; not tripe. (end of rant) Gerry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_omentum .. Jon Agne wrote: Tripe.

Re: [MBZ] Carbine Digest, Vol 106, Issue 71
Actually, the discussion was mainly about nomenclature of an AR-15, and whether it is properly called a carbine, a rifle, or an assault rifle. As Andrew so aptly put it: ... a nerdy topic... which contrary to Andrew's analysis (...of no interest to the rest of the gathering.) is obviously of interest to many of the members of this list, with only a relatively few either uninterested or upset by mentioning weapons. Actually, firearms are much closer to Mercedes content than are apple trees; since they are both the pinnacle of mechanical technology of their time. I have a (Canadian) friend who happens to be an engineer who works for the Mercedes truck division who, though not a gun owner, has confessed an obsession with the mechanical perfection of the M1911. This list thrives on nerdy O/T discussions! I think the M4 is the carbine version of the M-16. I am unsure what is the designation of the civilian equivalent.

Re: [MBZ] Carbine Digest, Vol 106, Issue 71 OT no Merc content whatsoever
It's just the nature of the beast, often times a thread will diverge and end up being not even close to the original topic but as long as it is fun and civil, who cares. It is not like you have to sift through a couple of hundred messages every day, these old school email based discussion lists where never meant for hundreds of people, perhaps dozens. Perhaps in a a perfect world, there would be perfect discussion lists but I figure, given how much it costs to be a part of this list, you sort of have to put up with a few issues. There is lots of stuff discussed here that I have little interest in but someone else may be highly interested, to be sure some of the stuff I post is probably of little interest to some here but perhaps someone will listen to my crap. As has been said before, I we tighten up the rules regarding what can and can't be discussed/asked here, we will have close to zero messages, cause people take the safe route and not ask, for fear of offending someone.
