What about rec.nude?  How many nudists do you know?  And now that I've
proposed it as an alt. group, I can use the example I noted before:
alt.wicca is not exactly one of the more interesting newsgroups, but existed.
Alt.sex.bondage?  Get real!  Alt.bizarre is high-traffic, but most of the
articles consist of:
The moon is high
So high in the sky
So high, so high.
At least I am now hahahaha...
       This is literature?
All I wanna do is see how people feel about a group which I think is of
interest to at least as many people as, say, alt.sex.carasso, eh?
