It seems to me that to say "this is IDM/this isn't so it shouldn't be
on the list" is pretty stupid.
This is mainly because there are a great deal of artists who make different
types of music. Say an artist makes IDM material and also makes
techno/trance/ambient/Peruvian nose flute music; it makes sense to discuss
their other material too, as it has relevance to their IDM stuff.
Artists like Oliver Leib, Rich Hawtin and, yes, Richard James make straight
dance material as well as ambient, IDM stuff, and lots of other stuff
inbetween.
Anyway, mailing lists like UK-Dance aren't just solely concerned with
dance music in the UK. If they were, only one or two people would read them.
Posts that are blatantly _not_ what the mailing list is about should
(obviously) be discouraged but otherwise they might have relevance to IDM.
All IMO of course.
