Can I add my little bit? I guess that it's a bit of flame:

FLAME ON

Who the **** cares what the **** the group is called? I don't care if it
is called net.pig's-bladder as long as the contents is on the subject of
internationalisation.

I am *strongly* reminded of that famous debate about how many angels can
dance on the head of a pin.

Let's get on with debating character sets, collating sequences,
natural language messages - not the name of the newsgroup.

FLAME OFF

Aah, it's good to get that out of my system.
