;The name comp.music seems clear to those with a background in academic

I wish this expression "academic computer music" would go away. Let's just
say, computers and music, any aspect, theoretical or practical;
this is also the unofficial forum for things pertaining to AI and music,
or cognition and music, or perceptual psychology and music, or mathematics
and music, etc. 

The only thing that really doesn't belong here are questions about 
buying and selling synthesizers.

That, at any rate, is how I feel about it.

;                             Perhaps it would be helpful to not bash those
;without access to rec.music.synth, or who don't know about software
;synthesis, but come up with a more precise newsgroup name.

I feel that synthesizer questions DISCOURAGE those interested in the 
matters above from posting (here or anywhere else).
