Doug,
Instead of thinking about changing the name and purpose of a newsgroup, why
not use newsgroups as they were intended?

If you're in a bar at a marina with friends, do you only talk about
boats?

1. This isnt the bar at the marina.
2. Were not your friends.

You people are argueing with a man who dosen't know a bar from a
newsgroup.


Then think of a more generic term than "bar" or "newsgroup". Try "forum"
or
"venue".
