If you post articles on music you like to net.music, and others follow suit,
there would be no need for subgroups.  I hope that's not too logical an
answer.  (I know it has been in the past...)  Any idea where the discussion on
Gong should go?  Any rigid classifications you might want to put on their
music so it can fit into one of your cubbyholes?

(Given the tolerance level of people who say things like "I never listen to
anything since 1957", or "rock n' roll stains my speakers", I'm not
surprised that there's a movement afoot for isolationism, and the
aforementioned reasons stand as evidence once and for all that it is rooted
in elitism and anything else (like "too many articles to wade through") second.
