     Actually... I take it back. All of the Alt.* have sex crap in them.

     Even alt.westley.die.die.die and that isn't being mistaken as a sex

     group. The only way we could actually cut back on the sex SPAM would

     be to switch to rec.sf4m ... though if we switched to rec.arts.sf.sf4m

     we'd probably get more readers due to the other sf newsgroups already in

     that area.

     What do you think????

         Totally awesome thing to do. The only problem, and it minor, is

         that we can't kill the old newsgroup (can we?). Hmmm...it probably

         would be better to choose rec.arts.sf.sf4m (or rec.arts.sf.forum,

         perhaps?), just to make sure that people reading the "rec.sf4m"
         don't

         think the same thing they've been thinking all along ("single female
         for

         male").

         Oh, people: There's a Forum meeting tomorrow, Wednesday the 4th.

         The Forum has a tar/asbestos floor now, so TV Night may be difficult
         to

         experience (I'll bring in tapes, anyway).

         Lessee...if anyone's interested, I grabbed the Alien Resurrection

         script off the web somewhere (although the director has a reputation
         of

         ignoring the script when making a movie), and I'll bring it into the

         Forum tomorrow.

         Interesting news: Patrick Stewart has signed on to play in Star

         Trek 9 for a price of twelve million dollars. The film, rumored to
         be

         directed by STFC's Jonathan Frakes. Some prominent fans on the WWW
         have

         analyzed Berman's comments and see a possible appearance of Lore

         (information on who may play this character does not yet exist,

         but...DUH!).

         That's all. I just wanted to spew useless information for a bit.

         Hey, wasn't the Forum rock painting slated for tomorrow?

         PS: I just recently upgraded my news client. Let me know if my

         messages scroll off your screen or anything like that
