#Fact: There was discussion.

Sorry, wrong. There was NO discussion about creating a rec.aquaria
group.  There was some discussion about sci.aquaria being the wrong
name and that it should be in rec.  This is not the same thing as
discussion about creating a rec.aquaria group.

This is marginally correct.  There was a non-standard poll about the name
rec.aquaria.  This was converted into a vote on the groups existance
after the fact.  After the "vote" it was said that the novel poll
method was ok'd with the current keeper of the guidelines.  The first
problem is that nobody else was notified of that.  The second problem
is that the keeper of the guidelines had NO authority to ok anything
of the kind.

Finally you get some facts straight.

You, on the other hand, do a very good job of pretending.

I just did.
