<pay no attention to the man behind the curtain>

I sent mail to Mister Rosen expressing my point of view, but given
people insist upon discussing it here, here goes:

First, out of the 200 albums I own, 2 are classical, so I am not
dye-in-the-wool classical fiend.

It is my opinion that if enough people are interested in forming
a new category, let them.  If it isn't used, remove it.  Following
the logic that has been espoused here, there should not be 
net.sports.baseball, net.sports.football, net.sports.basketball,etc,
but simply a net.sports.

Philosophically, maybe we don't want numerous specialized news groups
(but if they are being used, why not?).
Realistically, there is a significant difference between classical
music and contemporary music and thus the new group is appropriate.
The creation of this one new group will not lead to a plethora of new
groups being formed any more than the use of a sleeping pill will
cause drug dependency.

Please, can we let it drop (or carry this conversation on by mail).

Dave K.
