- So Chua comes back and says:
-
- +So r.a.cinema is supposed to be the NC-17 version of r.a.movies? =)

-
- You propose rmgrouping a group because as of now in your newsreader
- it has no posts? Sheesh. BTW, might you consider posting to
- rec.arts.movies also to let them know what you're up to? I'd expect
- that some folks there may have input since I would assume that
- they helped bring it about in the first place. Maybe we ought to
- get rid of alt.cult.movies too since that's redundant too huh?
