- People decided it was a bad idea. In case you missed the reasons last time,
- I guarantee that if you create a group called "alt.pugwash" it will be filled
- with discussion of the cult children's TV show "Captain Pugwash", and that
- you'll be faced with discussions like "Was there really a character called
- Seaman Staines?" and "Is 'Pugwash' really a bit of obscure sexual slang?"
