Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Bullshit bingo for submarine design discussions

[Ray Keefer <Ray.Keefer@Sun.COM>]

Mike,

I love it. If I have the spare time I might create a card. I am trying
to figure where to put it on the web site:

Design Guidelines?
Disasters?
Ethos?
FAQ?
Safety and Emergancies?

Regards,
Ray
