As I have not read every item in this infinite seeming series, perhaps
I missed it when someone else brought up this point. However, (not to
worry) I would assert that classical music <is> popular. The real
question in each case being: "popular with whom?" Clearly, classical
music is popular with denizens of this newsgroup. If it is not popular
with the rest of the world (or even if it is), do we care? Should we?
Why?  Those to whom "classical is popular" seem able to support it
adequately [please excuse my phraseology, after all this <is> 1984].
