um. are you saying that house is generally faster than 135? news to me. . .but then again, i'm a model, so thinking isn't priority one. pass the ipecac.

true enough. i'm assuming you're making an implied value judgement here.

that's an interesting definition of lowest common denominator. it is of course, highly relative and probably wrong. house music doesn't fly with you OR my gramma. and Rage Against the Machine (an example of "dissident" (sic)) isn't exactly underground. do you get your social criticism from Highlights magazine? don't blame a theme park for not being a cathedral. i'm bowled over than the silly caricature of the stereotypical idmer is actually turning out to be true for some people. ------------ 1642 try 621 ------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
