As quoted from <247@athos.rutgers.edu> by webber@athos.rutgers.edu (Bob Webber):
+---------------
| Having abandoned the attempt to create a rec.* group, this leaves us
| with the question of whether to form a mailing list or an alt.* group.
| Ultimately, the decision was to create an alt.* group because we are
| interested in exposing other people to the joys of aquaria, whereas
| mailing lists only attract those who are already converted.

(I'm actually acting supportively in response to a message by Bob Webber!  THE
SKY'S FALLING!!!  ;-} )

Just to make public what I mailed to the first person suggesting rec.aquariums
back in news.groups:  When the original message came across, I showed it to
some friends at Aquarium Systems here in Mentor.  They already upload their
newsletter, "SeaScope", to Compuserve; they are interested in participating
in a newsgroup.  If there's sufficient interest on the net, I'll make
arrangements for them to be able to post.
