What was the aus.bizarre story? Ah; as I said, I still bear the scars... Basically, I tried to create aus.bizarre (modelled after alt.bizarre) but some did not like it, and promptly removed it. To cut a long story short, it involved a newgroup/rmgroup war, which sadly I lost :-( It also just about brought ACSnet to its knees, because I automated my side of things (I don't know what John did, but it was likely automated too). I guess you had to be there... After that, though, Iron Bar and I became friends. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
