This is a good indication that Europe *would* carry >rec.aquaria. Alright, let me spell it out for you. Your average vectirx game owner is likely to be a technoid propellor head computer weenie. That person will take the time and trouble to hack around on the computer they spend considerable time on, and find the vectrix group. Your average aquarist on the other hand, is not likely to know what USENET is, even though they may be on a machine that gets it. They arn't going to arrange a feed of that one group - they won't even know it exists. (As an aside, look at John Berryhill. The guy is everywhere. All because one day he typed ``rn'' instead of something else when when he was trying to delete a file) -- Surgical tools for mutant women richard@gryphon.COM decwrl!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.NASA.GOV
