- Tim, I agree that it's a more appropriate name, but alt.vampyres won't go
- away just because you make alt.horror.vampyres. Next thing you know,
- we'll have people saying "Stop aliasing alt.vampyres to
- alt.horror.vampyres! The two groups have entirely different readerships
- and you're screwing us up!"
-
- You're the news admin. Is it worth the hassle to have pure namespace now
- that alt.vampyres is fairly well established?
