As a person whose first passion was classical (ever make love to to Scriabin, or the Goldberg Variations?), I feel especially critical towards the limp wristed classical pansies out there who want a separate newsgroup. Are your gilden remarks so subtile that they must not be uttered amongst common mortals? Or do you fear that the Great Clod may step on you should your ludicrous pomposities be subjected to the Vulgar Lowbrow Sneer? Or is it that classical listeners suffer under the Great Disgrace that has plagued the style for centuries, and feel safer hiding in secluded places? Where are the black classical composers? How many women classical composers can YOU recall? (there have been so few (Germaine Francaise, anybody?) that atrocities like `composerette' never occurred!) Considering the huge amount of sweat that the jewish people have poured into classical over the centuries, how come it is hard to think of even one jewish composer? Remember -- Mahler had to renounce Judaism to attain the status he did! Is classical separatism on the net symptomatic of the bigotry that has characterized the style since its inception centuries ago? This world will probably blow itself up over the elitist forces that appear to be thriving at classical concerts. Perhaps it is feared that cross fertilization with other musical awarenesses might add life to the pure sterility that seems to obsess our life-hating upper classes. If you people will not converse among the public throng, then please, to munge Jelloisms, aryan androphiles, fuck off! WITHOUT producing offspring, that is... Thank you -michael `thrash for peace' ellis

I think the classical music people simply would like to see items of particular interest to them instead of having to thumb through a lot of articles on non-classical music.

My my, Mr. Ellis, aren't we getting touchy. Well at least there were no
nasty words in the subject reference this time. You must realize that there
are alot of people out there with very eclectic tastes. For instance, I plan
on subscribing to both net.music, and net.classical. My collection of music
ranges from Devo, to Rush, to Bach. From Tchavosky (And I know I didn't spell
that right), to AC/DC, to Led Zeppelin. SO, don't go around insulting someone
just because they listen to classical or New Wave, or hard rock, or seashells.
You have no right to.

That's the word I was looking for. Thanks Mike. So all you pansy-brained classical types, fuck-off (but please don't reproduce). Bruce "You can not buy protection from the way that I feel" Golub John-boy Mfg., Co. Inc.

Yo! Ellis, self proclaimed vox populi, though minorities may not be represented in classical music I could say the same for the computer industry. I really can't see any relevance to anything in your post. Why don't you cancel it. And think clearly. You're setting a bad example for 'thrashers'. 'unthrasher at large' Andrew ccivax!abh

Yo these people that from the boondocks of Rochester and claim to be
a 'thrasher'. Micheals's not setting a bad example, maybe you are.
