Honestly, the problem here isn't Tom. He doesn't post all
*that* much, and he's very lightweight as trolls go. (I'm
not seriously implying that he's a troll, even. I think
he's sincere. Just very very odd and self-interested.)
The only problem with dfw.music is the paucity of posts
by anybody else about anything else. It's a pretty sad
thing that Tom Hendricks can "overwhelm" this group with
what, three or four posts a day? And then you guys who
won't plonk him, can't lay off of him... you have no room
at all to bitch. Post about something else and presto,
the group gets better.
Maybe I should start posting Good Show playlists and teasers
here. Might as well, just to start other discussion, I guess.
It's not like I make any money off that show, so there's no
real benefit to me in "advertising" here. Maybe I'll do it.

I agree wholeheartedly... you might as well post any music stuff. But,
as with any other non-Tom thread, it will just beget another sample
review, or some scene-ster contest.

We could also just as easily petition via dfw.usenet.config to just
delete dfw.music.

So? That's nothing a killfile doesn't solve.

I'd vote against that, at this point. Say what you will about
Hendricks, but he's basically on-topic here.
