Wow.  Talk about priorities :-).  WITHOUT getting into the argument as to 
whether or not net.bizarre should exist or not, I would like to know how
an institution on the net can justify carrying net.bizarre and NOT 
net.news.group.  I consider net.news.group to be up there in importance 
with net.announce.newusers (which, unfortunately, too many people tend
to ignore).  

WHY does jhunix.ARPA not carry net.news.group?  Could it be that they 
carry it but (as Mr. Arromdee states) they don't allow certain users 
to read it?  Does their feed not carry it?  Have they decided that 
it is a spurious newsgroup?  What's the scoop?????
