Jim, While the subject may be interesting to you, remember that we have
aproximately 300 members who joined DJML to discuss Dixieland Music and
related subjects.  If every member discussed their own off-topic subject
just because they thought it was more interesting than discussing Jazz, then
we would not have a Dixieland Jazz Mailing List.

As I said above, please take the discussion off topic to private email, or
to another forum.

Thanks.
