I second the motion for a classical music newsgroup.  I don't subscribe
to net.music because it contains little of interest to me.  I'm sure
there are many other classical music enthusiasts out there who feel the
same way.  This would be the ideal place for technical discussions of
musicological topics.  How many other netters are there who had to face
the agonizing decision of whether to major in music or computer science?
Probably a whole lot more than you would think.  With a separate newsgroup,
the classical enthusiasts wouldn't have to wear out their 'n' fingers, and
the more mainstream net.music readers wouldn't have to be bothered by our
discussions.

All in all, I think it's a good idea.  And, by all means, define "classical"
*loosely*.

P.S.

I really think the net.music readership would be bored to tears by a bunch
of organists discussing the pros and cons of classical voicing, unnicked
pipes, low wind pressure, and tracker action, even though I personally
consider the subject exciting.
