Ok, but there are far more playlists posted than FS lists by far. And there are already list-rules in place that limit the size/length of these FS lists. I suggest that there be the same type of guidelines set for playlists... like maybe each person/organization can only post them twice a month. Just an example, not necessarily a solution. With the FS lists, they are generally short and not a regular serialized thing you see every week from the same people. I do admit though that there are two or three people who post the same FS list every week... and those are usually far too long. I wish those'd stop too. I'm not totally against playlists. I actually hadn't thought of the benefits that were mentioned here within the past day or so... even though I could care less about playlists doesn't mean I should poo-poo on what other folks like. For me, it's mainly the quantity and the frequency of the posts themselves. Their numbers have grown tremendously over the past five or six years. I'm asking for some restraint? Whitezone and IDM-Mart were set up so there could be a marketplace for IDM-ish music amongst mainly IDM members. If you haven't been on those two lists you won't have noticed how the amout of FS posts have dropped here on this list... but they have considerably. Why not set up a playlist-type list for you guys who are into that? I mean, if you truly benefit from those types of posts then you'll want to join right?

I wish there were more reviews. I'm not the greatest at writing them myself, but maybe I'll give it a more frequent try. Anyone else want to give reviews a try? This would certainly beef-up the quality of this list.
