}Real bright move Bill. You just go right ahead. Id give talk.bizarre
}about a one week life span if it ever hit #1. I know I would get rid of
}it here if that happened. And Im quite sure many other sites would too.

I truly hope you do.  Then REAL people wouldn't have to put up with your
random blatherings.

}Do you have something serious against the group?

Is ANYONE serious in this group?  No, I don't think so.......
Now let's do a simple test........Ok, try and think (yes, I know it's hard)
where exactly are you?  Did you say "talk.bizarre?"  Very good.  I knew you
could.
Now why in the net.goddesses name would a group like this be created?  Because
THERE WAS ENOUGH INTREST [echo echo echo].
I don't think it will be removed that easily.....besides, if it was, these
loonies would be forced to write to so called normal groups.....I don't
believe you would be stupid enough to allow that....

}Personally I think the talk/soc and even the alt groups are good
}things. They add a little humanity to the net.  I even read ole
}talk.bizarre when Im in the right mood, and once or twice posted.  But

Ye Gads!  That's what that putrid scent was.....

}the attitude that Mr Bill and some other posters to talk.bizarre seem
}to take realy bugs me. What can mass posting prove?  "Hey, I only
}posted 10K today; ok, ill just post strings vmunix to talk.bizarre. 
}Wow man, pretty bizarre eh? What a sense of humor have I"

At least I have one, you tight-ass.....

}I can only call this kind of thinking childish.

Well, I'm rubber and your glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks
to you!

}I hope the readers and posters in talk.bizarre remember this:  Posting
}anything and everything, just to become the #1 newsgroup, will end the
}group. Its that simple. No one who has to worry about disk space or
}phone bills will even think twice.

Well, what the hell is the sense of having a newsgroup if you can't post.
Remember what I said above.....you are in talk.bizarre....It's a newsgroup
designed especially for stupidity.  We're bored here with the mundane;
becoming the #1 newsgroup give us something to do.  Would you rather have
up breaking into NORAD or something?  Besides, I don't see anyone rushing to
remove comp.ibm.pc or whatever that #1 newsgroup was......

The entire point is: if someone didn't think each and every newsgroup on the
net was important, that group wouldn't be here.
