Re: rules for the jewish music list

[Hope Ehn Dennis Ehn <ehn...>]

The Jewish Music list is connected to the Usenet newsgroup
"alt.music.jewish". Posts to either the list or the newsgroup appear in
both groups. The irrelevant and even objectionable posts that appear so
frequently are almost always from the newsgroup. As long as the list
remains connected to the newsgroup, this situation will continue. 

It would appear that *no one* is responsible for the list. I do not have
the name and E-mail address of the list owner, and have tried in vain to
get them. 

If anyone would like to take the responsibility of starting a Jewish music
list unconnected to a Usenet newsgroup -- a list devoted especially to
folk (i.e., Klezmer, Ladino, other ethnic traditions) and classical Jewish
music, rather than to pop and rock, I would certainly be interested in
subscribing. And I suspect that there are other subscribers to this list
who would also be interested.
