Only because its use will cause somebody with a single-digit IQ to feel insecure and post an email complaining about how pretentious sounding it is...

Yeah, fuck you too. When you choose to broach "The I in IDM", "Women in IDM", "Vinyl VS CD", or any of the handful of subjects which have previously been discussed ad nauseum, it just shows you are either aggressively ignorant of the history of this list or have a complete and total contempt for the members of this list. I've been on this list for at least 5 years, maybe 6. I remember when I used to read about more good music than I could afford to buy. Now it's a constant barrage of crap like this. Perhaps because there's no IDM worth discussing. At least that seems to be the consensus amongst the longtime IDM-heads I know. Irene, Jeff Klein, Jeff Davis, Kent, Lazlo, Zenon, Ernesto, Solenoid, Brap, Bobby Tribble, David J., Dave Walker, Ninjas, and everyone I've left out - it's been fun. I hope to see you elsewhere in cyberspace. I'm outta here.
