- If I can remind you all of Jym's original posting for just a second
- here:
-
- ! =+= I propose the name alt.politics.green-party rather than
- ! the simpler alt.politics.green, since the media (in the U.S.,
- ! at least) uses "green" for anything vaguely ecological. The
- ! more explicit name will hopefully keep folks from thinking
- ! it's another talk.environment type of newsgroup.
-
- In light of this, I think all of the comments above are extremely
- bogus.
