Due to a 2 week trip to the Northeast and VA (where I met "wheels" and had
a great conversation with him at Old Dominion U.) and then Hurricane 
Andrew, the 5/24/92 tree is not finished. A repost of the tree follows. 
My mailer (and the whole system) is now back up after "Andy" laid her 
to rest for a week, so please get in touch with me now if there is any
unfinished business, e.g. your at a top branch and you have not
receieved your tapes or if you owe me a few tapes. 

After getting back online there were 1655 messages in rec.music.gdead,
most of them real negative noise. The SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) in
this group is pathetic. It's so easy from the comfort of your chair
to insult people with childish name calling. After wading thru this muck, 
I wondered if it is drugs or if the education system in this country has 
failed this bad. Most of the posts read as if they were written by 
illiterate eighth-graders. Constructive criticism in this news group is
only wielded by a few talented individuals (e.g. George Lambert, Seth
B.), the rest rely on asshole and bullshit as their facts. As the boyz 
have sang over and over, take a step back! Think twice before you post. 
Edit those vulgar one-sentence replies to long post. If someone asks a 
simple question, send them the answer and have them post a summary, 
don't show off.  Take non-Dead discussion private.  The SNR problem 
will never go away in this newsgroup since many Deadheads are into 
out-deading each other; they want to show the world that they are the 
ultimate deadhead and secondly, anarchy reigns for many people. 
These people do not have a clue about the difference between rights and 
respect. They argue that they have the right to post and say anything 
they want. They certaintly do and I won't argue that fact. But it takes 
a lot of maturity to realize that respect for the rights and wishes of 
others should be of the same paramount as their own rights. However, if we 
all pitch in and show a little restrain we can make reading this newsgroup 
a pleasurable experience once again.  One suggestion, if you are tired of 
hearing the same negative and authoritian vibes from the same people over 
and over again, let them know in private e-mail. If they get enough 
responses and if (a big IF) they have a clue maybe they will stop. 
totally disgusted, arthur
