    Erm.. actually some of us are, eg. me. http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/5/4/5.html

    By the way, on a slightly different topic, in your sig. don't you mean Charles Ives, not "George"? 4th Symphony, my favourite. The way the choir pauses briefly in the first movement before the full orchestra comes in, is one of the great moments of 20th century music.
