Net.bizarre should never have been created. The proper procedure for
creating a new newgroup were not followed. For the information
of our readers, the procedure is:
1) Propose a new group in "net.news.group" and related, existing groups
2) Poll the readership for comments
3) Establish that there is/would be sufficient traffic
4) Based on responses, create the group.
HOWEVER.....
Net.bizarre was created for a while. In fact, the steps above were
followed, in reverse order, and seem to have established that the
group would field sufficient traffic (better than 65 responses from
just part of the network is incredible). So, for the time being, let's
see if net.bizarre supports traffic of its own (not cross posted
elsewhere) and justifies its existance. That is, I have just
"offically" re-created the group and added it to the active list.
Somehow, I supposed this ass-backwards way of approaching it is
appropriate for the group.
The listing in the active file for this group is:
net.bizarre Strange postings and reports of odd occurances.
Anybody got suggestions for a better description?

I suggest we spell it, "occurences." Also, substitute "bizarre" for "strange" and "odd." Why create any false impressions :-) ?

Yes folks, we have returned. net.bizarre is a reality. Now I guess I have to ask about a bizarre occurence. Bryan Gumbal when on the David Letterman show painted Letterman's legs with bright orange paint.

I saw that show, and you have it backwards. Dave painted BryanT GumbLE's ankles with bright orange paint, because BryanT wasn't wearing any socks.
