Actually, the biggest possible result is a lot of people saying, "huh,
what's sci.aquaria?"   But to be honest, my opinion was that the only
side to be hurt by that posting would be the sci.aquaria side, as some
might find quake jokes in bad taste.  (What, a joke in bad taste in
RHF???)  But since the posting came from Richard, I saw no problem with
that issue.

Besides you should see some of the really *lame* earthquake joke submissions
that I am getting.  (You will, actually, I'm putting them in a digest so
you can skip 'em with one 'n')
