This strikes me as an unreasonable attitude on the part of their SAs, and one they should try to change. I see it this way: if no one who is interested enough in all the changes taking place on the net these days (where interested means interested enough to read net.news and/or net.news.group) thought it worthwhile to drum up support to save net.bizarre, then it must be that all the people who wanted net.bizarre to stay around don't really care about the net and are willing to let others decide what the direction of the net should be. Now that that's been done, they complain that someone else decided for them. "When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all."
