	Sure.  rec.sport.fishing.  That's what fishing is!  A
recreational sport - unless you happen to captain, or man, a charter or
commercial fishing boat.  It's even called "sport fishing" so you can
tell the difference.  (Though it has precious little to do with
newsgroup names, I'm willing to gamble that this is the reason that
sporting goods stores do, in fact, carry fishing tackle.) 

	Where in the wide USENET world would you plan to put it??

	(Talk about not following someone's reasoning.)  Okay, *be* silly.


	
	Richard, since you don't want to try STV until the issue is
settled, would you consider a moderated sci.aquaria?  (I'm not trying
to use it as a hammer, but I do believe that a vote on an unmoderated
sci.aquaria will fail.)  If it's moderated, *then* I could believe that
it would live up to your proposed charter.
