One of the most often used defenses of sci.aquaria is "Look, a lot of the
other sci groups aren't very technical either."  The fact that they are misnamed
isn't a terribly good reason to misname another group. 

It reminds me of:
   Child:   "But Mom, everyone else is doing it."  (whimper ... whine)
   Mother:  "If everyone was jumping off a bridge, does that mean you 
             should too?" 

Let's stop the blurring of hierarchies instead of furthering it.  Soon we'll
just need one hierarchy: Misc.
