The problem was that the people discussing the offending jokes were using net.jokes to do the discussing. Then there came the people who criticized the criticizers for using net.jokes for discussing jokes. Thus, net.jokes.d (the 'd' is for "discussions") was born. Once rot13 was accepted, the traffic in net.jokes.d falls off. That is, until people who are new to the net start asking what this group is for. Class dismissed, David Elliott
