What could be more bizarre than having this newsgroup commit suicide? If we
all send out a 'rmgroup' message at some specified time, thus removing this
group, we will accomplish the most bizarre thing it net history. Not only
will a group have been removed, it will also have done so courtesy of its most
loyal readers.

Reminds me of the history of net.bizarre: First it was accidentally created. Then a net guru said it was bogus and sent out an rmgroup, so we removed it. Then someone would post a "save net.bizarre" message cross-posted to net.bizarre. Guess what, net.bizarre was back! This happened a couple of times until net.bizarre was officially created. -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.
