WARNING from Joe Blow, average netnews reader:  if there is any substantial
traffic about a group/artist I care little or know nothing about, I will become
annoyed.  I'd guess we have a lot of annoyed readers then.  Again, is this
any different from substantial traffic about ANY group/artist?

I'd guess that if topics only remotely related to music were being discussed,
perhaps a more limited forum (like a mailing list, as Mr. Dunn suggested)
might be in order.

(I didn't know I had a "role" in this newsgroup.  Will I win an Oscar? :-)
