There is, in fact, a small, monitored USENET group that serves a serious
scholarly purpose: rec.arts.cinema. The flow of informational requests
and the like on it is a trickle compared to the silly flood of Kevin
Bacon debate on rec.arts.movies, and there is never really a discussion
on rec.arts.cinema that compares to the "Man Bites Dog Bites Screen-L"
debate of recent weeks. So I say let USENET have its blather channel and
its serious channel and KEEP SCREEN-L AS IS.
Harrumph!
