This line of thinking is starting to get annoying, you know. Since you
could "just press delete" (be manually or in an automatic fashion),
does that mean I can abuse the resources made available to me for free,
because *I* think something *could* be interesting for *you*?
I don't have to pay for receiving extra email, but some people do.
"Just deleting" the uninteresting stuff is something that happens after
the fact for most people.
That said, I don't mind the power of sound playlists as I just ignore
them. But I'd appreciate some more discussion and less commercials.

Get real. I never said anything like that. This is not the first time
the issue of the playlists comes up. Several different people have
expressed rather plainly that some of these playlists are noise, not
signal. The only halfway reasonable argument in favour of them made
until now has been something like "if I see a piece on several
playlists there must be something good about it", and IMO it's rather
weak.
