Agreed that sci.infosystems.museums is a ridiculous name; IMHO the "no
new second level hierarchies" idea is being taken much too far.

But the only comment I've seen Una make that even remotely resembles
your description was to the effect that group-advice were good, but
not all-knowing - which sounds like a sensible admission of human
fallibility to me, not bragging. And certainly "REALLY, REALLY GOOD"
is not the same thing as "good". Unless I've missed some other article
by Una which was considerably less temperate in tone, I think you'd
make your points much better if you exaggerated rather less...
