With all due respect to your excellence in musical taste and interesting postings, this kind of dreck does NOT belong in net.music. In fact, some individuals (who value their disk space) feel as I do: that there is a pattern emerging: 3672:From: nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (Doug Alan) . . . (52 lines later) . . 3855:From: nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (Doug Alan) In fact, of ALL net.music articles received at unccvax, Doug Alan he himself has originated 104,557 bytes on the subject of Kate Bush, of 388,062 total bytes received since June 26 at Midnight, EDT. This does NOT include the replies to Doug Alan or for that matter, the replies TO doug alan BY doug alan, etc. In short, you netlanders are supporting 26.9% (as/of 4pm EDT/NYT,. June 10) of net.music on the behalf of Doug Alan. Look, guys, I'm all for anarchy and against censorship, but clearly, most net users prefer a forum of useful discussion rather than self amusement. I cannot control or would even presume to control anyone else's First Amendment rights; so no flames, please; BUT KATE BUSH IS JUST NOT THAT INTERESTING. UPI probably didn't move this many bytes of stuff during the entire time the Beatles were a band!!!!!!!!! Could you at least respond to postings which advance the truth, rather than comment on the significance of the idle tracking solenoid put on Kate's Ford Escort and the particular hue chosen for the back cover of 'The Dreaming'?
