Classical Music Forum Poll

[Matthew]

I voted no. Just from a casual observation I would say that a separate Rock Forum , would get more action than classical music. But, I wouldn't die, or go nuts, or anything like that -- I even might learn something from a classical music forum, and boy, do I hate that when that happens.

[mikeweil]

You're right with this, but jazz is a minority and thus should support minorities.

[7/4]

I guess that's about it...

[Dan Gould]

I'd support a blues forum, too - miscellaneous music is a pretty wide term.

A Blues Forum would make it much easier to find your valued recommendations, btw .....

For excellent blues discussions and plentiful recommendations, go here?.

Edit: That's not a question mark in my sentence. Its in the URL but for some reason is being displayed.

I say nay, because classical people are such snoots.

Nah, you can't seriously discuss about blues in a forum with Except Political Topics THESE WILL BE REMOVED.

in the front page.

So, where are the polls for separate blues/R&B, country and rock forums?

[J.A.W.]

I'd hardly call a total of 40 votes representative.

[etherbored]

not that anyone reads what i have to say anyway, but i'd love to see a limited forum as, like many before me have said, i'd learn a lot. i've always promised myself that as time allows i'd supplement my knowledge and collection (of the genre).

hey you don't use the franchise and you can't be heard to complain!

[Clunky]

I voted yes as I'm keen to learn more about the genre.

Who says I didn't?? And if you think I didn't, why did you tell me I could change my vote, here??

Won't the same discussions take place regardless whether they are put in a "classical music" folder or a "miscellaneous music" folder?

If so, then I fail to see the point of subdividing things further, just for the sake of subdividing them.

But if you ARE going to subdivide, then I agree with Hans' point (or what I think may be his point), you should create a forum for blues, rock, country, r&b, etc.

Yep, that is my point

i wasn't referring to "you" i was referring to those whom you think are not being "represented" by the 41 who DID vote!

Agree.

And I want an ECM forum, just to bother Chewy.

How about this one?

[paul secor]

Whatever happens is ok with me. I usually go to Read New Posts and check out the Classical Listening thread or other classical threads, and rarely search through the Forums.

That's what I do as well, using "View New Posts" or "Todays Active Topics". If that's how you keep up with the board, it almost doesn't matter which forum a thread is in.

Nice, but it might not be abstract enough to really tick him off....

which is now my only goal in life

Me too.

Then why a separate forum? Like Funny Rat, the What Classical music are you listening to? thread is too big to search through.

That thread will be big no matter what forum it's in.
