There are sometinmg like 65 threads up on the screen at any time.

I've just checked, and maybe 12 of these are not directly related to music and musicians. And I'm not sure about some of them. I mean, that 12 included this one, and In rteckon it's a perfect specimen of a periodic ritual discussion which is now part of our tradition.

And in fact my observation is that if any thread lasts for any length of time it's going to get round to music and suchlike.

When I go into a pub I normally like to drink beer. Does that mean I should stomp up and down complaining because they allow people to buyt a cup of coffee?

One of the great things about this place is that it is perfectly soundproofed. If some bunch of people are off in a corner talking about something you don't want to talk about, their voices don't intrude.
