Imagine the amount of cross-posting this would generate. You'd never know where to post, so you'd pick five groups, say, and post there. Overlapping groups are a bad idea. I'm all in favor of a rec.music.rock, with "rock" meaning "Chuck Berry and offsprings". Let's create one group and see what happens. If it gets overflown by Heavy Metal freaks we can consider a rec.music.metal, etc. /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | Seek error on /dev/brain (core dumped).
