I'll make this simple. The IDM list has never been dedicated exclusively, let alone primarily, to the Aphex Twin. Alan initially had planned to start an Aphex mailing list, but instead created a list with a much broader topic. The IDM list's topic of conversation has always been pretty much what it is now (although I'd say the conversation has gradually narrowed over the last year or so, possibly because more and more list members believe it once was an RDJ-only list).
