So what about the CD newsgroup?

What sort of mental midgetry is this? Classical music listeners who would be
interested in CD's might not want to wade through rock music CD postings. I
see no implication here regarding "those kids". Indeed, why SHOULD Gene Smith
and others on net.music.classical care about "those kids"?

5 points to the first person who identifies our mystery poster.

Why create a new group? To clutter the news databases? If you want to
discuss the technical points of CD's, there is already a discussion in
net.audio which noone there objects to, so why move it? If you want to
discuss the content of CD's, you can use net.music or net.music.classical,
depending on the kind of music. I can't think of anything else to discuss
about CD's; please enlighten me if you can. I'll bet I can find another
group in which to discuss it.

Viva status quo!

Boo Hiss! I would LOVE to see a CD group, not devoted to the technical
points, but to reviews of individual CD's. CD's cost alot of money,
and since the quality of these (re-)recordings varies greatly, I'd
like to know about them before I shell out the bucks. Things like
hearing that the Aqualung CD sounds worse than the LP and that Rumours
sounds much better. I think this kinda thing would be very worthwhile,
and I don't see what all this argument is about other than to rank
again on Allen and Grantges :-)
