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? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G. T. Samson The Evil MicroWizard gts@wjh12.HARVARD.EDU
