I believe Eric has now added another entry to the Inappropriate Posting
Scenario, concerning Parthian shots, but maybe it should also cover the
Inappropriateness of *discussing* Parthian shots, too. http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/magazine/humor/scenario.html
Tactic encountered by Alexander the Great, and later, the Romans, where
mounted archers (the Parthians, before the invention of the saddle and
stirrup) turned on the backs of their horses at full gallop and fired arrows
into a pursuing force. http://www.txdirect.net/users/jeturner/parthian.html
See, Parthian shots don't work if the force does not pursue.

Apologies for the long additional sig: it is added automatically and outwith
my control.
PS The Parthian Posting Scenario is Arlen's idea, and I'm sticking to that.
