Hey, I think this was spurned by my suggestion! Cool.  Well, I think it
would great if the other chico ISP's would carry the chico.* groups, I used
to view them all the time while I attended CSUC.  Some of the groups might
not necessarily be very useful like all the groups for the various different
classes, but that's to decide later I guess.

Thanks again,

(sorry for the crosspost)
