Out of some paranoid allegiance to clarity, let me point out that *I* am
not the one making such threats. I further have not see any explicit threats
from bizarre-ites (haven't read the group lately except for cross-posts).
My theory is that if their group loses connectivity, they'll abandon it
and filter out everywhere else, not by conscious effort, but by diffusion.
(Hell, maybe it will be conscious effort...)
