I agree.  I vote to remove ALL of these groups, AND net.flame.  Net.bizarre
may have been "silly" and "worthless", but it was rarely offensive.
Net.flame IS offensive.  (Remember this summer's discussion of "Women and
the Consumption of Toilet Paper"??)  If net.bizarre deserves to die, then
net.flame deserves to die a thousand times over.
