Yes, there was a discussion in net.news.group, but I doubt if most of the
bizarre people participated.  I know that I tend to read the "frivolous" 
newsgroups and avoid the "serious" groups, such as net.news.group, and I
imagine that many others do the same.  As a result, a group of serious
people decided (25-9) that they didn't like a silly newsgroup.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CROSSPOST THE DELETION DISCUSSION TO NET.BIZARRE SO THAT
EVERYONE COULD PARTICIPATE???

Well, I propose that we recreate net.bizarre.  If anyone is interested (or
not) send me mail.  Even if net.bizarre isn't recreated, maybe mail.bizarre
could be created if there is enough interest.

P.S. - So far, the vote is 2-1 for the creation of net.bizarre.  So unless I
hear otherwise, I'll create net.bizarre later this week. :-)
