	This comment from someone who has been stating all along that
hobbies can be very technical to support his choice of group hierarchy.

	Unfortunately, there is no tech.* hierarchy,  so maybe you should
suggest sci.autos.  Rec.autos.tech seems to be a very appropriate name, and
by your own arguments, not contradictory at all.  This is also an
excellent argument for the alt.aquaria to go into rec.aquaria and have
another level for the more technical aspects of the hobby.

BTW- yes I own an aquarium, and before you flame me for not posting to
	alt.aquaria, I would if this site recieved it.  As it is now,
	I only get alt.aquaria articles if they are cross-posted to
	a group that this site does recieve.
