What's wrong with jazz aficionados submitting articles to net.music for
other jazz aficionados to read and respond to??  It is a group for discussion
of music, no?

The only reason I can think of for a subgroup is that some people are afraid
they might catch some disease if they converse in a newsgroup where (heaven
forfend) rock music is discussed.  To all jazz buffs:  THE REASON THAT ROCK
ORIENTED ARTICLES GREATLY OUTNUMBER ARTICLES ON JAZZ IS BECAUSE *YOU* ARE NOT
CONTRIBUTING ARTICLES!  (Rock fans may be greater in number and somewhat
more vociferous [louder], but that's no excuse.)  Those who like classical
music continue to contribute, without feeling the need to split off.  It is the
contributions of readers that mold the shape of a newsgroup.  So get off
your duffs (what an expression!) and post jazz articles, O.K.?        Rich
