Obviously this has gone far enough.  I speak for many people (one, actually)
when I say that we (I) are (am) sick of having to weed through all these
discussions about 20th century music, which is of course all garbage.  Thus
we (I) propose a new subgroup, called net.music.classical.real, which will
leave those who clutter this newsgroup with talk of 20th century so-called
music, and allow the rest of us who wish only to discuss real music the
privacy of our own newsgroup.
