you make a good point with the first statement, but then put forth a
gross over-generalization with the second...it is not what ALL americans
like, nor is it what they are ALL like...i would hope that you [and

that's more like it: MOST, not ALL, young americans...but, imho still a
little top-heavy...
this ofcourse works with idm [and, for that matter, all other types of

occurs...that's why we enjoy listening to it...now, to tie this in with
the commercialism vs. underground issue, what does that say about those
who are interested in one or the other? or both?
