I'd like to see the results of a poll of the persons voting on the
rec.music.synth renaming showing:

	What percentage of them has read r.m.s, but not n.g, regularly;
	What percentage of them has read n.g, but not r.m.s, regularly;
	What percentage of them has read *both* r.m.s and n.g, regularly;

And while that's in process, why don't you enquire of the regular readers
of n.g as to the ones who did *not* vote on the renaming.

I suspect you'll find that the majority of the voters on the renaming
were regular readers of r.m.s, and that the majority of the readers
of n.g didn't vote.

You're swinging a rather broad brush here, and splattering a lot of
bystanders with it. That certainly is not going to help your position.

As far as the guy who was complaining about having a email forwarder
set up at an old site where nobody knows how to change it, *certainly*
someone reading r.m.m.s with rn can find it in their hearts to add an
entry in their killfile to forward it to him. That's trivial, if you
bother to read the documentation.


(Oh, all right. In your News/rec/music/makers/synth/KILL file, add
a line like this, with the proper email address inserted:

/*/:m | mail deprived@othersite.domain

and I'm sure he'll appreciate it.)

Nothing is growing faster than the number of KILLfile entries I have
on this matter....
