Hardly. The travesty was due to you and others like you, who insisted on
putting a hobby group in the science hierarchy. sci.aquaria is indeed a
travesty, but that's because it started that way.

I got a newgroup today for rec.aquaria from Chuq Von Rospach. Hopefully,
the net's admins will honor it...even those that (rightfully) objected
to sci.aquaria.

The group should have been created first. If it had, the flame war would
never have started.

It may not die yet; the only way to douse the flames (except from the
Richard Sexton Sycophant Club) is to rmgroup sci.aquaria.
