Surely there is a need for this type of group. It is a shame that those who initiated this group didn't take the proper steps (petition, blood test, bribes, etc.), but in just the short time it was allowed to exist, it did generate a lot of traffic. I would therefore ask those responsible for removing this group from the net to have a change of heart and re-institute this valuable escape valve. A coupon for a six pack of new coke will be sent by return mail. Seriously, there are alot of us out here who would like to submit material of a satirical nature to the net and there is no real outlet for it. Net.bizzare seemed the perfect place to do this sort of thing as the name of the group was a tip off as to what one could expect and therefore less likely to rub people the wrong way if they view things a little too seriously. Items such as Stupid Peoples Court and K.T's movie reviews would seem to fit in this category perfectly. -- Dave Williams Tektronix, Inc.
