   THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR. 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:

       .  (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'?

(Whew. I feel much better now!)
