Good grief! Why all the fuss about subdividing net.music? I personally will continue to subscribe to both net.music.rock and net.music.classical (plus the parent) and suggest that anyone who wants the whole mess do the same. The advantages are that the few (?) who want to subscribe to only one subgroup can do so (there are several of these, it seems), your news is automatically organised by subgroups (I find it a pain to keep switching mental modes while reading net.music), and the bulk of current articles fall neatly into one group or the other. As to the disadvantages, well ... ? The gripes about net.music.rock.ambient.eno.pre-1977.deleted subgroups are unfounded and irrelevant. Nobody is suggesting uncontrolled proliferation of subgroups. Sheesh! Oscar Nierstrasz PS: I don't liking posting to 2 newsgroups, but it seems necessary here.
