    That's very unfortunate. I'm sorry you feel that way, but myself and a cast
of (RND**3) feel otherwise. And if you look in the manifest, there *IS* a group
called rec.music.gdead, and I beleive there's a Zappa one in there somewhere.
    Yes, there is a 'catch-all group for this sorta thing'. We don't like it
there, and they don't really want us there. So noone should object *TOO* hard
if I go out of my way to get a new group put up where noone will bother us and
we won't bother anyone else. And if more people stand up for more new groups,
well, that's what the voting system is for. IF it's popular enough, it will be
approved. If not, it won't. I'm quite confident that rec.music.pfloyd will be
approved. If not, I'll just start again from square one and keep it up until it
gets approved. No harm done.
