   Oh, we like talk.bizarre just fine.  Our problem is that K*nt P. Dolan
   seems to have arbitrarily decided that t.b is the most relevant place
   for his presidential campaign, much to the dismay of many t.b readers.

One could of course argue that this is suitable revenge being brought
down on the t.b population for the abuse of a large fraction of the
other 400-or-so worldwide newsgroups caused by that population due to
inappropriate crossposting.

But personally, I don't give a hoot whether alt.birthright comes into
existence or not.  It looks like we're going to get a dandy little
newgroup/rmgroup ctrl msg war; on one of the systems I administer,
loquat.cis.ohio-state.edu, alt.birthright came into existence and then
had its removal requested within the span of 10 minutes.
