Sunny ---
   I have never said this to *anyone* on the net before...and I've been 
on it for a good many years, but: "God, you're a weenie!" I have heard
you say some incredible things - and, that is your right. But I have also
heard you profess yourself to be knowledgable of both sexes, claim
that you are not giving opinions but "imparting wisdom," and then turn 
around and get huffy under the collar when you piss people off. And now?
Now you have your nose bent out of joint because net.astro was formed
to talk about astronomy, and net.abortion was formed to talk about abortion,
etc etc etc.
   This is the *first* time I have heard you say anything rational like:
"gosh, maybe I should request to form a seperate group to talk about 
what I want to talk about." 

   I promise that I won't do you the same discourtesy you do all of
us: I won't break into net.psi and start talking about plasma physics.
