It is a group, despite the attempted sabotage of certain net.tyrants.  Where
I am at we get a good deal of traffic through sci.aquaria, and much of it is
different from what appears in alt.aquaria.  Of course, the bad connectivity
causes some problems, just as it does for alt.* groups.  Still, it has managed
to get to a great many sights, many of whom do not get alt.aquaria. 

If you are seeing little or nothing at your sight, start doing some searching
for the nut who is strangling your feed, and when you find him/her start
applying preasure to get the line opened up.  Usenet is for the users, dammit!
Don't let some petty.dictator take it away from you.  (Note that many of these
dispicable creatures have confessed their sins publicly in news.groups, so
they are a good place to start looking to find your particular pain.in.the.
ass.)

P.s.  I think all those people that voted against sci.aquaria should now stop
flaming/whining/bitching/crying, grow up, and quit generating noise in this
group.  Especially the Loudest ones.
