I think this discusion is bordering on the verge of the absurd.

Imagine if all the traffic generated by the sci.aquaria naming
proposal were actually the traffic IN alt.aquaria. We would never
need a new-named group to attract traffic.

Therefore, let me propose the following observation:

Richard Sexton (the guy who started this discussion) is actually an
AI program (or Construct, if you will) running on some AT&T (R) 3B
somewhere deep in the bowels of a research building in New Jersey.
This AI program, while crude, is generated more incoming for AT&T.

:^)

(Actually, this is a theory floating around the net...)

Lets stop this silly discusion and realize what we are; a bunch
of pet-owners that are trying to raise our hobby to the same level
as our professional careers. Yes, computer science is a science.
Fish keeping and breeding at the hobbyist level is not. If you really
think sci.aquaria is justifyable, check out the currently top-rated
technical rag on the subject _Aquaculture_. Compare the rantings of
dead-pleco owners with those of the top workers in the field.

See you in rec.aquaira.


The king has no clothes. Long live the king.
