Oh oh! I've just been converted! I don't want op-overl. anymore!
I've always thought that the above quote about the guns was the
best example of utter nonsense you could ever get, so if somebody
doesn't come up fast with an example why we *must* have op-overl.,
forget it (even if it's in the constitution that we've a right
to use op-overl ;).
