I would rather see #sci.aquaria pass. If it does not, there are several people ready to call for #votes on rec.aquaria, which will definitely pass. So you're saying that you accept that rec.aquaria would be a more popular choice, but you think the name should be sci.aquaria? So you're supporting Richard's attempt to get sci.aquaria through a vote, which then commits the net (more or less) to that name, when with more discussion and a possible concensus the new group could have had a name most people would have prefered? In other words, you agree that Richard is trying to bounce the net into doing things his way? Just asking :-) Note: this is not an objection to Richard, but to this particular campaign of his. In previous controversies I have usually agreed with Richard's side of the argument. -- Regards, David Wright STL, London Road, Harlow, Essex CM17 9NA, UK dww@stl.stc.co.uk ...uunet!mcvax!ukc!stl!dww PSI%234237100122::DWW At last: a "new group" proposal with a good reason to vote NO
