I'm constantly amazed at the groups in which I find bizarre people posting. I expect them in net.rumor and net.news.group, and I was somewhat surprised to find them in net.suicide. But I don't think that I EVER expected to find any bizarreness in net.test. I guess it makes sense though. After all, net.test is a perfectly good newsgroup without a "normal" readership to be bothered by an occasional strange article. Invasion of net.test anyone? "This is just a test. Can anyone confirm this?" -- UUCP: ..!seismo!k.cs.cmu.edu!mcb ARPA: mcb@k.cs.cmu.edu "It came time to move, so I packed up my Salvador Dali print of two blindfolded dental hygienists trying to make a circle on an Etch-a-Sketch..."
