 Pretty stupid attitude, isn't it? Do you associate humanities with whining
while science is pure and golden? I take it you're a scientist? And have you
never heard of Immanuel Velikovsky, Ludwig Plutonium, Alexander Abian, Ted
Holden and their ilk? Here's a free clue: the science newsgroups can be just
as daft as the humanities ones are at times.

 BTW, I think you'll find there's already a couple of newsgroups specifically
for alcohol and drink in general ("wining")...
