If you can construct ANY reason why it has to do with Linux, then I'll listen. That reason may be pretty weak, but if it's there, I'll play along. ;-) If it become unbearable, someone will tell you. Police yourself, stay cool and I'm sure it will be OK. (Others may feel differently.) My 2 cents... Mark On Thu, 2002-12-12 at 16:00, Peter Jay Salzman wrote:

Otherwise, you'll need to access it via some kind of news software, rather than e-mail. I use gnus for both. (Note: token Linux content.) :-) I wouldn't exactly call it "flame-free", but rec.music.makers.jazz is generally pretty civil. There are some smart people there who know a *lot* about jazz theory and practice. You could get some serious answers to your questions. You'll also find pointers to web sites with instructional jazz material. The Internet has lists and news groups for *every* kind of question. It's always better to find the right one and avoid Off-Topic discussions. Why send a message to hundreds or thousands of people who don't know or care about what you're asking?
