- Ok then, I will. I still think it's a pretty good idea - at least
- as far as rec.hunting is concerned. We may not have any say about
- what goes on in the other groups, but I think we still ought to consider
- renaming *our* group. I think that when alt.fishing became
- rec.outdoor.fishing, they did a pretty smart thing.

- All of this is just MHO.
