yes they are in my opinion. The "Women-in-IDM" thread really inspires some ultra-brainlessness though. don't know why that is. But anyway it seems that they there are two camps in this mailing list. People who are busy and would like to keep the posts about music. And People who would like to discuss whatever comes up. I'm in the former camp. There are plenty of outlets to discuss sexism in our culture and intellectual property rights. It's not the focus of this group, and it sometimes annoys me to have to wade throught these posts. Although it was equally annoying wading throught the "is chem bros. and/or prodigy appropiate to discuss here." If someone wants to post a review of an albumn I'm fine with that. It's just the ensuing reply's that really bother me. (I know I'm shooting myself in the foot, with this reply). Please forgive me for bringing up the "women-in-idm" thread. It's spawned a meta-thread. Do youse peeps have it in your heart to forgive me?? ObIdm:: _Cold Krush Cuts_. Love this compilation. Pulled it out after being shelved for a couple monthes. The DJ Krush side is so phat! freshie Paranoia: The choice of a Tech Generation http://silly.com/~tang
