Now hold on folks! I subscribe to net.music because I'm interested in learning more about other peoples musical tastes, and, hopefully, expanding my own. In the event that an article comes up which is of marginal interest to me, I hit the DELETE key (or RUB, depending on which terminal I'm using) and move on to succeeding articles. Quite often, I find that the most interesting dialog comes from cult-members arguing with members of other cults (e.g.-jazz fans vs. rock fans in the recent bass player poll). If we divide into subgroups (like net.music.jazz and net.music.rock etc.), I contend that the interesting discussions will disappear. Controversy breeds discussion! Let's keep net.music unified and diverse! And if something comes up that makes you want to barf... don't secede, just DELETE or RUB! Eddie Stokes (...duke!mcnc!unc-c!ebs)
