We could call them `net.music.$$$' and `net.music.only'. The $$$ group would be used for articles about Human League, MTV crap, Men at Work, Barry Manilow, Hooked on XXX, discofied jazz, top forty anything, and other stuff you can play at parties. Net.music.only would receive articles ranging from anonymous 9th century composers to aging blues singers, and would encompass such topics as Dick Urine & the Scum Fucs, Tennstedt's latest Mahler release, Art Bears, John Coltrane, Millions of Dead Cops... you know, stuff that empties out a room in 5 seconds flat! ======================================================================== -michael
