Fine so far.  I'd agree that there MIGHT be some validity in sorting things
a little, but...

OK, now he's just written a pretty good counter to the statement that he's
not an elitist snob.  I can't feature ANYthing in common to Grateful Dead,
Twisted Sister, and top-40/AOR--except possibly that he doesn't like any of
them (and there's the elitism).  And just maybe if he'd peruse a few of the
postings he has to weed thru, he might stumble on the fact that Grateful
Dead does a fair bit of "electronic" music.  (He might even learn to spell
"Grateful"...oops, never mind, FORGET I SAID THAT; I don't want to start a
bunch of spelling flames and it's no big deal anyway...)
