  22. I think you're right.  Given the likelihood that alt.fan.rush-limbaugh
  23. is going to be around despite any rmgroups to the contrary, it seems
  24. to make sense not to bother trying to remove it if the alternative
  25. would simply be alt.fan.rush-limbaugh.politics.  Sorry for not picking
  26. up on this sooner.
