Mark, Neil,

I'm afraid you have been decieved. Deja.com at first appears to be a
dream come true. I know, I started using it in 1998. However, as the weeks
and months pass, it becomes annoying. It's harder to weed through things.
It's harder to find people. You have to have an account with them which adds
spam to your already too spammed inbox. And finally, when you discover
binaries, which can give you such as midis to that Bass Clarinet solo you
really want to play, you find out that deja.com doesn't support binaries...
Then, you will anger at Deja.com, and rejoice like me as of a week ago, when
your ISP was bought out and you have a REAL newsserver!

PS. Anyone know of a good Class II UIL Solo and Ensemble Solo for Bb
Clarinet that can be used a doubler who usually plays trombone? :P
