Well if you look at the thread a little closer you will notice that *no one*
actually took the Rebirth bait. It was just an inside joke to loosen up some
of the tension from the recent other threads that have turned into flame
wars.
Being as you've only been on the list for a week I'm sure in the coming
weeks and months you will find plenty of things that will waste your time.
That in it of itself is a topic that comes up on the list often as well -
"Damn this list/thread/topic is a waste of time - and the name IDM is so
misleading".
I would highly, highly recommend you heed your own advice and "be sure and
avoid being bated by moronic comments in the future". This is a common list
practice and stems (imo) really from the multitude of people and
personalities of the many subscribers on this list throughout the world.
Some people have a crude sense of humor, others are just cynics and some
(who's email addy's are now in my block list) do nothing else but piss
*everyone* off on this list.
There are plenty of posts from people with no other purpose but to annoy
others. More often than not they are inside jokes (one most recent example
would be from one poster who mentioned his favorite autechre album as being
Amber - this may indeed be the case but since so many people recently
mentioned their dislike for the album it is blatant flame-bait. Or how about
Cex's recent post about how he's just the best thing since sliced bread - if
you didn't read any of his posts from the past you just wouldn't get his wry
sense of humor)
So, take it easy, hang in there and get from the list what it really has to
offer - constant updates of what's new in the world of IDM.
