The "useful items" thing is a good suggestion, provided someone is updating
it. Mentions of upcoming shows in the header could be interesting too (along
the lines of the MOOTD), but that could be a bit excessive for some people's
taste.

Nor does the Cowardly Lion song, quite, which was going to be my guess.

Sounds like that Zappa song... "If I was her father, I'd..." Something
like that.

re: the title of #0, my guesses were If I had a hammer, or whatever the
name of the Peter Paul and Mary song is, or El Condor Pasa (Id rather
be a hammer than a nail, yada yada yada).

I think the problem is that there're are just too many "If I was" songs..

I take it the "useful and active items" list is intended less to
serve as a guide for new users and more to guilt us regulars into
using more than one item?

resp:2 resp:20 Good God. *frown* I don't think I quite like this.
Labeling an item 'useful and active' seems so.. clinical and
detatched. I will concede the "Music To Conference By" item is quite
active, but it's not necessarily useful to us poor non-local folks who
don't have home desktop PCs so we can Grex while listening to music, or
are at school and don't have access to something going via RealAudio.
I also feel like the hard work I put in with various items is just
faded and gone now. Perhaps it's true what was said earlier: more
Grexers are interested in computers than they are music as a hobby and
a profession. =(

Perhaps others could suggest active items? I'm not planning on just limiting
the list; although I did want it to make quick additions easy (by not having
to browse for item number first).

I decided that putting my own favorite items to respond to in the header was
not really appropriate (especially since a Post It on my monitor will work
just as well).
What are some items to put in a "good and active" items list, though? There's
also a "selections" command, I think.

There's a whole bunch of music-genre items; most of them were pretty active
at one point in time, and they'd be a good place to steer people who like that
sort of music. The ones I found in a quick search through were...
11 world music
19 experimental music
21 opera
23 funk
27 folk
44 jazz
46 electronic music
67 celtic music
94 prog rock
Also, it'd be good to point out the current Grexers On Stage and the current
concert and album reviews items. Couldn't hurt to point out thsi item either.
How long a list are you going for?

I'd recommend keeping it to 10 items or less.
(think of it as the music conference express checkout.. :-)

Perhaps the list should rotate every couple of weeks.

If you keep it that small, what is the point? What happens when new people
come in and want to read some of the old stuff, and respond? Or they come
in and don't find what they want, and leave? Or start up a new item....of
something you just killed?
