>r.m.G/S			For official bike #2
>r.m.ducati		For what everyone _really_ wants
>r.m.etc.etc.etc.	One per brand/model, as needed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Er, redefine or add to as,


r.m.etc.etc.etc.	One per brand/model, as needed and includes:
r.m.FJ			Replaces r.m.penis.tupperware

r.m.euro		Which includes the following subgroups:
r.m.euro.BMW.Rbikes	Replaces r.m.kitchen.appliance.paint_shakers

------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
It also strikes me that there is a possible need for one more group, to
be called either r.m.harley.buell or r.m.NOT.harley.buell.

>NOTES: 1) Don't say that you agree only with the first part of the post :-).
>2) If you take this too seriously: Get a life!

Likewise, I'm sure.
