 Because I believe the problem lies with the person who cannot a) Ignore 
 these things and b) wanders into Usenet thinking they can create a Utopia. 
  
 The only way they should be able to do that is by creating their own 
 message board and talking to themselves all day.  After all, someone who 
 converses with many strangers and expects them all to say something he 
 wants to hear, deserves to talk to himself all day. 
  
 Music is one of the most basic forms of the freedom of speech and that 
 which is associated with it should have the same liberty. 
  
 Your right not to listen should be as precious as my right to speak.
