I would like to second the motion to create a subgroup
net.music.split.  Much of the traffic generated lately
has been discussion of the split.  This subgroup could be
temporary.  It would serve the purpose of allowing people
interested in music to focus their attention on music,
rather than on the various tirades or windy discussions
about the philosophy of the split.  Those who are more
concerned with the possibility of a split than with music
are of course free to read it.  There is no worry about
finding the appropriate subgroup to discuss artists who
fall between the chosen categories.  The volume of articles
may be reduced by as much as half.
    A somewhat less serious suggestion is to create
net.music.rosen.  This subgroup would be meant for sending
replies or insults to Rich Rosen, either in response to an
insulting reply by him from an article someone submitted,
or in response to his general insult to everyone, given
in every article he posts, namely "pardon me for breathing".
This suggestion is only somewhat less serious because much
of the traffic about splitting net.music revolves around
Rich Rosen.  If net.music.rosen were created, perhaps
25 percent of the articles in net.music could be moved to it.
