|My MAJOR reason for wanting sci. and opposing rec. is that I BELIEVE that a

Well if sci.skeptic can be generalized, this doesn't work.  Most of the
really stupid whining there is of the nature "see I *told* you this
group didn't belong in sci" mostly eminating from Bezerkley.  I don't
happen to agree that the proposed aquaria group belongs in sci, but
if it does go there I'm sure the Brahms group will be glad to double
your volume with carp-o-la  (that's a technical term only used in
sci groups, son... :-)
