I wish the world had more people this mature. Oh, and "swung around the head like claymores"? Unless there's another definition of claymore than the one I'm thinking of, that would be a stupendously bad way to wield one. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]

An antiquarian word made familiar again by Scott's novels; modern military application to pellet-scattering explosive is first attested 1962.
