From Yosi Hoshen:

To which Rich Rosen replied:

>>First off, I resent the notion that musicological topics are only of relevance
>>to classical (whatever that is) music lovers.

>>Second, about the above paragraph.  I agree completely with most of it.
>>I agree that net.music contains little of interest to this person.  I
>>agree that there are many others who feel the same way.  And I have absolutely
>>no sympathy for their plight.

I agree.  We don't need Rich Rosen's sympathy. We need net.music.classical!!!!

I'd like to publicly thank Mr. Hoshen for his well-thought-out statement.
I'd also like to thank him for misrepresenting me by selecting portions of
my original article out of context (without explaining why I have no
sympathy, e.g.).  My original article states my position.  Please read IT
and not Mr. Hoshen's slanderous excerption.  You don't need net.music.anything!
What you need is more articles on a wider variety of topics in net.music!!
(You think *I* like sifting through "Reasons to Hate Michael Jackson, Part 3"
and its hundred-and-one followups??)
