Funny.  That's what my comments were designed to illustrate how you come
across to me:  very closed minded, especially when it comes to referring to
other people's tastes as "punkified drivel".  Taste of your own medicine,
bud, in more reasonable doses than you dished out, sir.

Could someone explain what a "yeah not sit" type remark is?  I'm dying to
know what Mr. Bottom is talking about.  And I'm sure he is, too.

There are lots of groups for which I wouldn't care to read "tons" of
anything, but I welcome discussion of all types of music by ALL types of
people in a music newsgroup.  Others are against such intercommunication
between people, for egotistical/elitist/etc. reasons.  Just don't count me
among them.  Life's a rough place.  You actually have to share the world
with other people.  You don't get to say "I don't like that type of person
or situation.  I'm going to form/they should form their/my own newsgroup".
