Any claim Oh calm down, Jay, no one has ever denied this. But tell me something -- why is it wrong to switch from a rec group to a sci group in order to get better distribution but not wrong to switch from a talk group to a soc group for exactly the same reason? You're being very hypocritical on this issue which lends credence to Dave Hill's assertion that the only reason for all this fussing and fighting about sci.aquaria is because it was Richard Sexton's propo- sal. It doesn't have anything to do with defrauding anyone. It has to do with net.politics.
