	    Give me an expletive break!  Let's not get carried away
	here.  Speaking for myself, I have no particular objections to
	"the truth or the reality of life", as you put it, but I would
	rather not see articles about it in the midst of an otherwise
	pleasant, noninflammatory newsgroup about nonanimal products.  I
	think the two subjects are sufficiently divergent (and
	sufficiently voluminous, at least at the moment) to warrant
	being discussed in different newsgroups.  Why are net.jokes and
	net.jokes.d different newsgroups?  ("What do you think of my
	theory about why people are offended by jokes?"  "You didn't say
	anything funny!  YOU DIE!!"  "But it was ABOUT jokes, so I
	thought--"  "@&^%$^%!!!"  "&@#$*#&$%!!!!" . . .)
