If all it takes is one example, here's proof that Richard is right. I didn't vote for sci.aquaria because I like fish or aquaria, I voted for it because the namespace fanatics made me angry with their rantings. (I'm an ichthyophobe who cannot ever bear to think about touching a fish. The only fish I like are in 3-1/2 oz cans, packed in water, and I'm not even too fond of them.) -- Mary Shafer shafer@elxsi.dfrf.nasa.gov ames!elxsi.dfrf.nasa.gov!shafer NASA Ames-Dryden Flight Research Facility, Edwards, CA Of course I don't speak for NASA
