Lay the blame at the feet of Richard Sexton, who held a grossly fraudulent vote on the group "sci.squaria", and so disgusted a huge portion of the net that they refuse to carry it. If you really feel you need a sci.aquaria group, hold a straight vote on the name without any hidden agenda and behind-the-scenes campaigning. If it passes, well and good. If it fails, then issue a "rmgroup sci.aquaria" and try again in a few months. As Richard found out, it helps to pay attention to the intent of the group creation guidelines, rather than playing lawyer with the text. -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . / \ \_.--._/ Xenix Support -- it's not just a job, it's an adventure! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'
