When the removal of net.flame was being discussed, some of that group's
defenders argued that if net.flame went, like a burst appendix it would spew
its drivelous posts and nasty remarks all over the net.  The argument went that
net.flame was a filter that kept the other groups relatively (:-) polite &
wholesome.

Now we have an argument that net.bizarre is acting as a filter to keep
net.flame interesting!

Next we should have a new group, net.silly, to filter out tedious articles from
net.bizarre... then, perhaps, to keep net.silly minimally readable, yet another
"filter" group, perhaps called net.downright.stupid!
