[So, why didn't you reference the article which you quoted?  I believe
that they are in the "friendly messages" subject.  <435 at laic.UUCP> had
no mention of The New Wave or NewWave (tm).]
 
I certainly hope you are saying this with mock sincerity.  I would not
be at all surprised if the original poster had never even heard of
"NewWave".  Secondly, "The New Wave" is not an infringement on
"NewWave".  Finally, if the two things are as disparate as you assert,
then why care at all?  Geesh.
