- How are posts on pre-war jazz stifled by the existence of other posts?
- Start a thread- other threads won't cancel it out.
- Use a threaded newsreader so you can follow the subjects that
- interest you.

- Anyway I've certainly learned a fair amount about pre-war jazz.
- There are a lot of people who post on bluenote
- who know a lot about pre-war jazz. Don't deprive yourself
- of their expertise.
-
- I'm not interested in another flamewar about splitting r.m.b, but
- I honestly don't understand the need for a group dedicated to
- pre-war jazz.
