To my knowledge Usenix doesn't endorse skinny-dipping in hotel pools
either, but it happens at Usenix conferences, so it is a reasonable
topic of discussion in the newsgroup.  JJ'sBS was prominent at quite
a number of Usenix conferences for some years.

Usually the best way to deal with an "inappropriate" discussion is
to sigh and let it burn itself out.  This one already has.
