Yeah, these guys are a real "barrel of laughs".

For what it's worth, I appreciate you spreading the word.

PS:  Big-8 groups are those that go through an entirely different process to
create and delete. "Board members" are chosen (not elected) to decide what
groups can be created or deleted.  It's a good-ole' boy thing.  Some regulars of
such groups are somewhat "elitist's", somehow thinking that their hierarchy is
somehow better than those that are not Big-8's.  The hierarchies are:

comp.*
humanities.*
misc.*
news.*
rec.*
sci.*
soc.*
talk.*

I'm done with these clowns.  See you back in ASA.
