        Thanks Peter,

        Your thoughts are well taken...I don't personally like the word
nude...because I find that word restrictive. :)  The nudist lifestyle
used to mean exercise and eating well (and I don't mean eating a lot
of hamburgers :) )...and naturist seems to encompass that as well as
respect for the environment.

        But, as you say, a word with 'nude' in it like rec.nudist would
catch the eye and naturist would not.  Since there is a rec.nude, we
might not suffer too much since the apparent new off shoot of rec.nude
will be soc.naturist...moderated, and the people there will be leaving
messages about the exsistance of soc.naturist in the rec.nude conference,
lurkers will pick up on the word 'naturist' that way.  We could also
do the same for rec.naturist by leaving an occasional message in rec.nude.

Naturally thoughtful....Dave Fleming
