How true. 

There are other groups that seem to be "squatters home" to the
collection of marginal, innovative, or "optimistically scientific" 
interest such as the PSI.  One of these "home groups" is in 
sci.physics.  

Perhaps a group called "sci.bizzare" or "sci.phenom"  might make
everyone more comfortable.
