Hey Corin (and the rest of yous guys out there on the mods list),
I realise that I am entering an arguement in its later stages so if I have covered a
point or two please understand that I have just re-subscribed.

Well in a way they do promote music and bands but in an easy to abuse way. If I am
thinking of buying a CD of lets say The Gestures, how do I know if I am getting a good
wallop for my buck? Well I trot on over to the newsgroups and see if I can find their
music to try out. If I find them and I like them I buy 'em, if not I delete them.
Simple as that. Thats what I have used them for and I feel very comfortable doing it.
