I thought the example I gave about Hart/Kreutzmann/Lesh in the Rhythm Devils made it very clear. The channels of communication between people who subscribe to subgroups as opposed to the more ecumenical general topical newsgroup essentially break down, and exchange of information (isn't that what the net was formed for?) is damaged. > Rosen was there stereotyping us as usual.

I deal with enough discrimination > from cops who pull me over for the dead sticker on my car etc...... I feel really sorry for people so afraid of being exposed to other opinions. Really. And I find it extremely hard to believe that cops in New Jersey (or most places for that matter) pull cars over on the basis of a bumper sticker. I doubt they can even see what the bumper sticker says when you're doing 65 (which might be a more likely reason for being pulled over). Seriously, I'd be very interested in hearing substantiated stories of people whose cars were pulled over because of a Dead sticker. This sounds like wishful thinking to me. (If you do wish to offer instances, let's keep it in the mail unless you think the topic is worthy of the group.) -- Like aversion (HEY!), shocked for the very first time... Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
