I really don't think it was there.  I've been reading net.bizarre for a long
time now, and something like that would have caused me to jump on to
net.news.group so fast I probably would have had trouble with the Fitzgerald
contraction.

Also, how am I to know that net.bizarre is being discussed on net.news.group?
Telepathy?  Word-of-mouth?  From whom do I get this information?

I think that messages in net.news.group RELATING TO THE DELETION OF GROUPS
should be cross-posted to the group that is going to go.  For instance,
cross-posting deletion messages to net.games.video would likely draw
little response.  So?  So the group gets wiped, that's what!  Neat and simple,
isn't it?
