In article <21442@gryphon.COM> richard@gryphon.COM (Richard Sexton) reposts
the results of a survey:
=discussion. Anyway, as promised here are the results. It may be of interest
=to note that some of those who voted for sci.* and who stated thier reasons
=as to why, did not say that they were entirely against rec.*, but most of those
=that voted for rec.* and who stated thier reasons as to why, did say that they
=would vote against sci.*. To all the participants, I thank you.

rec.*                           17
sci.*                           16

Another way of interpreting these results (other than "see, people want
sci.aquaria!")  is that people want it under rec.* and that they want it
enough to vote against sci.*.

Of course, this whole argument no longer (never did?)  have much to do
with logic and what people want, so I don't know why I'm bothering to
bring this up.
