Distribution and connectivity.  I hate seing follow-ups to postings that
never show up at my site because of the ALT connectivity spasms.

>If you wanted the name 'rec.aquaria' before, then what's wrong with it now?

Other than smaller distribution?  Nothing.  But without the idiocy that we
have been witnessing for the last 3-4 weeks, the result of a call for
rec.aquaria would have been exactly the same as before (when there weren't
even 100 people bothering to reply!).  

(Did you notice a quiet failure of rec.sports.{basketball,football}?  Think
about that.)
