You did well without my help.  I was just poking fun.  It is an interesting
question, but one I'm afraid has no easy answers.

I was once very interested in writing about music, especially when I
first discovered the classical music discussion groups.  It was a heady
experience sharing information with so many people!  Now I'm very happy
listening to music, building my own collection, and reading what other
people have to say.
