[net.music] why not just type n?

eric (05/12/82)

Why does mindless trivia have to pervade this network?
I don't want to have to skip through twenty `album survey' headers
just to read the one or two interesting articles in net.music.
People with this top-20 mentality tend to be pretty mainsteam.
A twenty line review of a performance or group says a lot more that 20 titles.
And what is the reasoning behind `If there is an overwhelming amount
of news in a group this implies great reader interest'?
More likely a lot of canned articles are being generated
by people without the imagination to submit anything creative.

Eric: I missed the overabundance of creative enthusiasm in your 10 lines.
Come to think of it, your article looked kind of canned (and unimaginative).
