see the other thread for a suggestion.


De gustibus non disputandum etc.

As a relative newcomer, I ask myself whether I want to take part in a forum where members reply to another newcomer in ways that might, on a bad day, perhaps be able to be perceived as rather unfriendly and dismissive.

It's hard for me to understand why people bother to be unpleasant to one another about their shared love for a category of music that is, well, from a commercial point of view, a minority taste, even if it's far older. and has lasted much longer than pop-stuff--and will outlive it!
Strong views about what you care about, fine,great material for lively and enjoyable discussion; express your own passions and pet peeves, great, but Insulting someone's taste and such-like. I ask: why?
