You say, why not always use the "n" key? I say, Why not create subgroups? I
really do not see why people are objecting so strongly to the creation of
subgroups. Why *should* I have to use my "n" key so much? Why *not*
create a subrgroup for classical music so I don't have to "n" all those
articles? Most of those opposed to this have said something to the effect
that "I think people should be exposed to a diversity of articles".
The fact is, most people who don't know a lot about classical music
(like me) automatically "n" things that have "Bach" in the title. We simply
do not have time to wade through all the articles about things we have
marginal interest in. I am certain that this concept applies equally to those
who like classical and hate rock. Isn't that the purpose of having newsgroups
in the first place, to avoid that sort of thing? Oh well, I plan to respect
the opinion of the majority. At this point, it looks like net.records
is dead meat, but people oppose subgroups of net.music . I must admit,
I am bitterly disappointed. I don't understand why people do not want
to take advantage of modern technology. But apparently, God has spoken.
I will wait another couple of days, just in case there are long loops
even for a backbone site like us, but I wouldn't suggest posting anything
to net.records if I were you.
