I see, he should have made himself clear. Dictionary definitions only everyone, and no additional comments unless authorised in blood by the bloke who pointed out "this confusion". Also, on your knees and say penance for every time you have not given the shortest, most concise answer to a question. Shame on you all! Let's all write qu'est-ce que c'est? instead of what is it. This should avoid this dreadful trap and we'll all be able to sleep comfortably in our beds from now on. My lord, I just can't believe how serious this situation is. The internet is just soooooo important and every word on it will affect some people's lives deeply. Can't you all see!!! How dare anybody use it to waffle or voice ideas not specifically requested by whatshisname! If you need to state that you think Goa music is entirely s*** or a load of complete f***ing bo****ks or even brainless, soulless twaddle then you MUST start your own discussion group about it elsewhere - do not polute IDM with such codswallop and g**y**fr*fl*s ***hi*! Goa, to my knowledge, is now a tourist mecca (mid-north-west coast???) of India. In my understanding, it has no link to music whatsoever. It tends to return two kinds of European: the rarer kind is easy-going and spiritually enriched, the others are used as extras in Sci-Fi films. Dj's there use cassettes instead of vinyl as they find it helps their mixing. Alvarez c/o GCHQ.

didn't we blast "someone" on this list earlier for posting "goa" related queries here? Derek ps. post them to goa@party.net, they love a good flame.

That was NOT the point. The original message was "What is Goa?"; the original response was "Bullshit". This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, informative (unless the original poster REALLY wanted to just hear that someone thought it sucked). I was just pointing out that this response was useless, but I see there's no point as everyone else thinks Goa sucks, too... so much for doing my part to increase the S/N ratio, I guess. <*>-------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to. --Terry Pratchett, "Small Gods"
