I'm quite sure that we all like lots of muscians, and that is quite an 
admirable quality to have..  But, might I enquire, can't all of this be a 
bit more moderated? It is very annoying to be seeing double posts running 
rampant, only to be quoted fully again and again when they are debated 
endlessly later.. Could we at least agree to urge the weeding out of these 
offending double-posts and make references to previous posts without quoting 
the post verbatim ad nausea? This is really a magazine, of sorts, and as 
such, we should issue a certain discretion to make sure that what we write 
isn't too redundant. Keep Happy, Kate, Caterwaul, LPD (by all means), and 
hell, seeing others like them, even T'pau. Just keep it informative, to the 
point, and entertaining. We shouldn't try to be excessively American in our 
hit & run viewpoint of entertainment, but it would be nice to see more 
information and a tad less bickerring.
