There has been a trend I've noticed recently for people (you know who you are) to reply to messages with punchlines or to throw their two cents in with posts containing only one line. In fact there are some people whose sole contribution to the list consists of these one line posts. These are often annoyingly attachted to a much larger quoting of an original message. This is not how IDM works. IDM is a mailing list for discussion, this is not a chat room nor your personal playground to try and amuse us. In the future I would encourage those who think 2000 people need to read your single line of text to think twice as a significant portion of the noise generated on the list would be cutdown if only this type of posting was eliminated.

I'd have to agree that the one liners are annoying, especially when attached to a long post. to stop this, I will bring up: The Five-Deez, 12" I bought at the tortoise show, it features 2 mixes by prefuse 73, which are very much in his stlye. There are also some other mixes that are very good as well, its a very Rapid Transit type of release. I highly recommend it. There is also a little 12" comp by the metatronix label which is hott in that way as well, this one features a mix by push button objects of supersoul. I haven't seen it listed anywhere but its definitely worth getting. And lets not forget about the Kruton 12" with the autechre mix, while most people will byuy this for the ae mix, I have to say that overall the entire 12" is great. More relevantly, picked up the new d'arcangelo, nice to see a domestic release of this guy, although it still costs $10. its also good to see andre estermann stateside. oh, one last thing, apparently theres a boards of canada remix on a new planet mu 12", anyone hear this yet? ____________________________________________ p l u m b d e s i g n Adesh Deosaran | Information Designer 157 chambers st ny ny 10007 p.212-285-8600 x240 f.212-285-8999 -----Original Message----- From: Gonzi 'Fresh' Merchan [mailto:fresh@home.com] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 4:46 PM To: idm@hyperreal.org Subject: [idm] one line posts.... please make it stop There has been a trend I've noticed recently for people (you know who you are) to reply to messages with punchlines or to throw their two cents in with posts containing only one line.

I use a filter in outlook express that hides all messages that contain "re:" in the header (View, Current View, Define Views, New). Then if I read a post, and want to see if someone replied, then I temporarily disable the filter. It works really well, I feel a lot less stressed about checking my email now :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gonzi 'Fresh' Merchan" <fresh@home.com> To: <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 6:46 AM Subject: [idm] one line posts.... please make it stop
