Here's a vote no for the newsgroup- I'm a snob and an elitest - and
proud of it!

After 2 years on the Internet and I'm becoming more disenchanted with
usenet groups. Anyone can say anything with no accountablilty. I come
to this list because I like the community, learn about new titles and
artists in a genre that I love but am not an expert in. My Afro-latin
newsgroup has become a joke due to cross postings and requests to
lyrics for Mexican pop songs. I wish there were a mailing list!

To be democratic, anyone with a vague interest in AJ can type those
sacred words into any search engine and get info on how to subscribe
to this list so it's not like this club is so exclusive.

It also looks like free email is just around the corner for the
asking, so those who must pay per message will have that problem
solved.

Thanks for listening.
