Why?  What is Gene going to do with them?

I as this rhetorical question in public, rather than by private mail, because
I have seen the same sort of message several time.   Gene voluntarily
maintains a list of newsgroups and other regular postings, and these days
he tries to have as little else to do with USENET as possible.  (Much like
almost all the other people who did volunteer work in building this net.)

He doesn't have any special authority, and unless I miss my guess, is a
sane human being and doesn't want to open up pandora's can of worms here
by changing the name.   Be like sealing the aquarium after all the fish
have escaped.  (Or locking the asylum after all the loonies have escaped,
to be more accurate.)

It's OVER.  STOP POSTING ABOUT FISHES IN NEWS.GROUPS.  Thank you.
