First "Alien" flames everybody about "sci." saying fish are pets, then Richard
and Oleg tell everyone "it's really science, it's not for the distribution".
Then some guy flames me for being a sci.monger, then some guy posts a call
for vote for a name, some one else posts a call for vote for another name,
"Alien" tells him it should be in sci., Richard says it won't get to Europe,
and now the guy who held the call for votes for a name (which Richard denounced)
is being used in support of Richards argument. Are you sure this isn't 
rec.arts.tv.daytime. I'm confused.
