Folks,
Lauren tells us that there are twenty or more netters who are
interested in fur fetishism. Anybody support mod.fetish ('cos I doubt they'll
let us have a *real* newsgroup)?
Votes (pro or con) to me: don't forget to provide full ID so that when (if)
I get enough votes one way or the other about the formation, no-one can
possibly suggest that I might -gasp!- have been biased...
Failing this, maybe mail.fetish?
Kay.

With messages like 2315@flame.warwick.UUCP, I guess there's no need for me to elaborate about what can happen when people start using serious newsgroups for silliness. --Lauren--

Can you say I_R_O_N_Y? You can't? Oh dear... Seriously, folks, I admit it: I *was* indulging in a little leg-pulling. It seemed that recently things had been getting a little on top of Lauren, and I hoped that I might restore a little of his good humour. Never mind. Actually, I agree with almost all of Lauren's points. Sigh... I admit, though, that I was surprised to get not inconsiderable quantities of mail expressing interest in a mailing list about fetishes - though, intriguingly, no fur fetishists indicated interest. If I get any more mail about my proposal, I'll have at least as much justification for forming mail.fetish (or mail.oop (for Object-Oriented People) - remember the MOTSS discussion some years ago?) as people have had for forming other mailing lists. It's amazing what truth can be spoken in jest, sometimes... Almost contritely, Kay. -- "A boy does not put his hand into his pocket until every other means of gaining his end has failed." _Tommy_, by J. M. Barrie. ... mcvax!ukc!warwick!flame!kay
