I welcome crossposts "into" talk.bizarre. We had a lot of fun with
the lawn darts, and I'm sure the regular readers of misc.consumers
found a whole new outlook on life. The crossposts almost always
come from outside, because a true talk.bizarre reader begins to see
everything as bizarre, and forgets that there _are_ other newsgroups --
I mean, newsfroups.
Although you're right in saying that outsiders should get off our
case about volume and cross-postings, since it's really _their_
fault, I'm afraid we're always going to be the victims of bigotry
and prejudice, as the great minds and geniuses have always been.
