Brad,

I couldn't have said it better myself. Some time ago I made a posting entitled 
"Enuf is Enuf" where I stated that there was alot of bandwidth being "wasted" 
on this cross-flaming. It is still true. In the end Richard got his newsgroup 
and the people who wanted a 'pure' heirarchy killed the distribution. I'm not 
seggesting that either of these two parties were right, but as has been openly 
admitted by all, if the fish group had been put in rec.* instead of sci.* to 
begin with, this entire flamefest would never had happened. 

Everyone won the battles, everyone lost the war. 

The time has passed to put it to bed before we all incure the cost of 
trafficing additional bandwidth on a topic that most of us want to just see die.
