I'm pretty sure it means "to be obsessive". Kind of like being an "Aphex Twin trainspotter" would be someone who would collect EVERY Aphex Twin release, buttons, tshirts, toilet seats, anything you can think of. I also think the meaning of Trainspotting (the movie) was how they were utterly addicted to heroin and the lifestyle that comes with it. Correct me if I'm wrong... - Dan J. -----Original Message----- From: Pier G Antolini [mailto:antolini@worldnet.att.net] Sent: April 3, 2001 10:18 PM To: idm@hyperreal.org Subject: [idm] Trainspotters? Importance: High Ok can any of you folks from the Isle help clarify the meaning of trainspotting or being a trainspotter? That is such a classic idm word, but i never had a clear clue of what it meant.
