Gee, joel, that's interesting. How is *this* constructive? How is anything in the message that you sent *NOT* completely hypocritical? A) Don't recall anyone asking you, either. B) You are also talking shit behind the anonymity of your computer, and C) By responding to this thread, you have made another worthless, inflammatory post. I was right about the post I replied to, and you are right about the post you replied to, but they are essentially identical, and therefore you have made the problem 3x worse than it was when I made my contribution to the problem. To all the people bitching about there being no more IDM content, I totally disagree. I'm sure there could be more of it, but there's been a ton of interesting strictly music-related posts over the last three days. I suspect that maybe this supposed "off-topic posting crisis" has more to do with the way people hone in on things that annoy them, and inflammatory posts tend to stay in the memory longer than a 7 post thread about some CD-r band that you've never heard of. Seein' a lot of hypocritical B.S. here lately. It's just an e-mail list, and if there was a heavily moderated one there probably wouldn't be 100+ posts a day in my mailbox to look forward to. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
