 	Right!!  Like the attempt to "take over" soc.singles a about a 
year and a half ago, back when I read talk.bizarre (and the main reason I
stopped, that and the "Volume, Volume, Volume" drive that happened just before
that.  And after a couple of weeks of cross posting the bizarroids started
saying "Who else can we get..."  

	People abuseing poor talk .bizarre.  Poor thing.
