Now we'll have to go through two months' worth of argument back and forth over whether there should be a new newsgroup or not. A new group will be created, which will inconvenience some people as the above poster has pointed out. And Moe, Larry, and Curley will start cross-posting like crazy ("let's see, this article oughta go in net.music.jazz AND net.music.folk because jazz is kinda like a type of folk music, sorta; and while I'm at it why don't I send a copy to the folks at net.music too..."), and then those of us who subscribe to ALL music subgroups will have to wear our poor index fingers out skipping over the multiple postings... I vote NO. -- Bill Ingogly
