	As a co-news administrater, when I saw the rmgroup control
	message reach our site, I took it with a heavy heart, one
	of the few things that I looked forward to was the things
	that I would read in net.bizarre. But as it was pointed out
	the cost was very high, so I accepted the removal of the 
	group. But after reading this article, what I think would
	have been a better way, was to have those sites that did not
	want to receive the group just to remove it at their site,
	or not accept the newsgroup at all. Then those sites that 
	still wanted it could keep it.
