Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr It seems clear to me that the deadheads are justified in asking for their own group. The information they would exchange on their sub-group would not be interesting to most net.music readers. They would discuss tape trading, specific concert information including compelete playlists from recent concerts, and the adventures of all the members of the band, in addition the music itself. There are probably more devoted deadheads than devoted x-fans where x = {beatles, stones, who, beachboys, yes, genesis, siouxsie&thebanshees, residents, huskerdu, pristinearea}. They are all interested in all that information. There are also many people NOT interested in that information. I really think that the dead are a special case here. One vote yes. -Joshua D. Marantz
