Amen! And no more stupid flames about its existence or "snobs", either! Thanks to Rich and others, we now have an easy way to tell if you're a snob or not: Do you like classical music? Will you contribute to net.music.classical (regardless of how you felt about its creation in the first place)? Then it's easy - you're a snob. Enjoy it. I am. I notice that once again some ignoramus has advanced the curious theory that "classical" music somehow just ended about 1900. Will he ever wake from his blaster-induced stupor? Another rhetorical question: Anybody else besides me notice the contradiction between epithets like "wimp" and "pansy" and the terrible defensive furor these supposed weaklings aroused? My, my. classical snobs arise...you have nothing to lose but your detractors - Jeff Winslow "Whew - what a day. Guess I'll get out my old Tom Lehrer..."
