Subject: RE: To JOE: A Modest Proposal - 3rd Division
Gee, if only there could be a section that contains exactly what I'm interested in!

Let's see, I'm not much interested in modern singer-songwriters who don't bother with regular verse forms, or meter, or rhyme, and who can't write complete sentences, so let's move them to the lower section. I can't read Gaelic, so why should I want to see any Gaelic lyrics? Get rid of them. And I'm not interested in children's songs or hymns, so move them down there, too. And parodies are usually boring if you're not very familiar with the original, so let's move them somewhere. And people who are always proposing changes to Mudcat, well, the changes they propose are never helpful to me personally, so I wouldn't miss them. And complainers are just a pain in the ass, so move them somewhere--I don't care where. And people who are always proposing Mudcat gatherings, or announcing future gigs, or telling me about a cool song that's on the radio RIGHT NOW, even though the message may have been posted several hours ago, and anyway it was broadcast in a different country than the one I live in...well, they all have to go. And I hate it when people request lyrics but don't use the "Lyr Req" prefix, so get rid of them, too. And people with tech problems with software that I don't even use, or instruments that I don't play...

That should reduce the upper part of the forum to a useful size. There you go, JoeClones, HOP TO IT.
