It is no longer a question of validity, but of confusion. I have already voted against Richard Sexton (personally, but that includes sci.aquaria). I would prefer to see the results of this vote before taking another. I am annoyed enough at this whole thing to VOTE NO to all variations until people stop screaming. Alt. aquaria seems to be doing just fine as is. Since it ain't broke, let's not fix it. Since people with European addresses are telling us that they get alt.aquaria, we don't have a genuine need to change the name to get to Europe. Perhaps Mr. Sexton fails to realize that a) being in Europe, b) keeping fish, and c) having Usenet access are not necessarily related. Perhaps it's just that the Europeans prefer not to get involved in this petty shit.

All right Jim, you have said exactly what I've been wanting to say for weeks. I'm so sick and tired of reading flames and whining. Let's get back to talking about aquaria. How bout it, huh? Steve
