Seriously, though, you do seem to have raised a point, Lauren: where
*do* people discuss fur fetishism?  or, indeed, any particular fetishes?

I agree, net.fur probably would be a little too specialised for the net -
it probably wouldn't have any great volume, and should probably be kept
to a mailing list.  But how about net.fetish?  There are probably more
generic fetishists than Ada programmers, and, if we can have net.lang.ada,
perhaps there is room, say, in net.rec for a fetishists group?  

Or mod.fetish?  Or what?  Or were you being ironic?
