Actually, there's almost always some traffic in at least one of the three
music newsgroups I read about floyd (rec.music.misc, rec.music.cd, 
alt.rock-n-roll).  Plus, there's a mailing list, that has *exploded* in 
traffic lately (I received nearly 2 dozen messages yesterday alone).

It has often been joked that rec.music.misc is the "rush, pink floyd, and yes"
newsgroup.  Most jokes of that source are not made without some sort of reason,
and I believe that now is the time for Pink Floyd to branch off with its own
newsgroup...
