But without CDRs, how will the battling giants of IDM trainspotting assert their dominance in the field of micro-batch releases? Picture, if you will, the IDM Trainspotting Triathalon: 1. Older collectible releases (Ae "Cavity Job," Plaid "Mbuki Mvuki," Lego Feet, _Blech_ etc, measured in the maximum price each has fetched on E-bay) 2. Owning releases that may not exist (AFX sandpaper giveaway, 1/Tau rarities- score determined by a constant times the inverse of number of degrees of separation from artist that the release's existence is no longer verified by direct contact) 3. Micro-press IDM CD-R gathering (expressed as a sum of percentage of print run embodied by a single copy, divided by the number of qualifying CD-Rs owned by the competitor) A suitable prize shall be awarded to the victor (Christina Ricci's agent is not returning our phone calls). -rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
