No time at all. Oh, you can call for discussion or call for an end to discussion until you're blue in the face. But the only real way to know if the discussion is still going on is to read news.groups and see what people are talking about. That's the way Usenet works. When I called for votes, the discussion was definitely still going on. It seems to have died down, now. If you wanted to call for misc.aquaria it'd probably be wise to go through all the motions. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . 'U` Also or .
