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. Al Sawyer
