I don't object to r.g.c.c., not at all. Odd thing is, long before I ever got there, it was all just one newsgroup, but they decided to try to spit it up into several newsgroups to try to keep the discusions in catagories. In general, I guess that was a good idea, but I'm not sure if it's such a great idea for Steven to create a special off-topic forum that got mentioned somewhere. CCC is better mannered than r.g.c.c. is anyhow. There is much more restraint here. Pete
