- I,too,take issue with that assumption. This morning, when logging in, I had a
- whopping total of 6 new, unread articles in r.m.bn. Assuming our newserver is
- functioning properly (not always a safe assumption :-)), it's hard for me to
- imagine how ~any~ type of jazz/blues-related thread could be "crowded out".
-
- One reason folks who favor some type of split always fail, is that they
- are unable to show that the total ~volume~ of posts to r.m.bn warrants
- ~any~ type of fractionation. i.e., there is room for ~everyone~!
-
- If there's a group of folks anxious to talk about "Big Band and other early
- jazz forms", let's see posts about the ~music~, not hand wringing about splitting
- the group.
