I don't share your feelings, personally, but I know where you're coming from. Membership is probably still growing, although more slowly than before I'm sure as some people unsub, like any list, but as far as a place to learn about new music, there's tons on the list. About 50% of the relevant record labels out there post updates and newsletters to the list, detailing new releases and upcoming releases. One of the ways to turn the list more to your liking is to a) stop having meta-discussions (like asking why the list is a certain way, no offense), and b) post reviews and questions to the list. Wanna know about new stuff? ASK! Someone else asked about lunch. What's stopping other people from asking about a new cd? derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- with lather thingy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
