When net.bizarre first showed up (or was it the second, or maybe
third time?), people expected it to be a refuge for the truly bizarre.
It was a peculiar group in that it came into being without apparent
need or request, but won wide support among people who just knew
the net needed something like this.

Well net.bizarre is now quite mundane, and the experiment was
a failure.  Worse, it comes in faster than other dumb groups
like net.religion and net.origins.  I think net.bizarre will
become the first group at this site to have an expire time
even shorter than those other dumb groups.

Are there really any of its original supporters who still feel
it is worth keeping around?

[Maybe ``Stupid People's Court'' should have it's own mailing list --
I'll subscribe!]
