The reason why it would not be proper to use sci.philosophy.meta is because it is not exclusively for discussing Objectivism. A newsgroup for discussing Objectivism, the philsophy of Ayn Rand, is what is needed. Of course, if sci.philosophy.meta was to be renamed to sci.philsophy.objectivism, it would be all right but then there have been some discussions in sci.philosophy.meta and I doubt if the posters there would be willing to lose that newsgroup. -- --Mehul Dave-- (INTERNET :- mehuld@apee.ogi.edu) "To the banner of life, all could be given, even life itself" -- Ayn Rand
