idm list:
it's been real
it's been fun
it's been educational
it's been vitriolic
it's been embarrassing
most of all it's gotten repetitive and i think the discussion has covered
as much ground as it's going to. i don't want to sound like a bitter old
coot, but i guess it's just like unsubscribing from the 'grunge' mailing
list circa 1993. after i've seen the threads on autechre track names and
why the name idm sucks (i think we can all agree it does...) i figured out
that such a narrow scope of discussion can only lead to the same issues
being hashed and rehashed endlessly, i've sat through my 12 iterations and
now it's time for me to go.
i think it's probably the same on any mailing list that is pointed at such
a limited scope of discussion (not that we stayed on topic ever) (not that
that's wrong either). i subscribed mostly so i could pick up info on
music that i hadn't heard before, find more stuff to listen to -- i did --
but the signal-to-noise ratio has gotten so weak that i just feel like its
a waste of my time to delete 100-200 messages a day when only one out of
1000 really sparks my interest.
i predict this is a personal evolution that most list-members will go
through at some point, it's not a "the idm list has gotten so bad" post.
the idm list hasn't gotten any worse, i've just grown tired of reading the
same old same old shite
so before i split i gotta give shouts to those who made it worthwhile
