Those who know don't wonder. Please, crop the silly string.

hyperreal@hyperreal.org? <scratching head> Yes, the people who make
hyperreal.org happen are well versed in community responsibilities,
without whom. As for the intelligent dance music list members, I cannot
attest. I'm only suggesting IDM exercise the option to stay on topic.

"...just *talk.*"
Hardly. I'm PROUDER then a new parent when I read a good IDM review, or
show report. List members web dedications give me a bookmarking hard
on! I even enjoy the more characteristic asides and cameraderie as much
as even the most tolerant lurkers. Well spoken (elaborated) top ten
lists have their own pine folder. For Sale prompts and Event Listings
and Talent Rosters are my nachos, yum. I trainspot shamelessly. I do
however wade through a fair amount of ancillary information, or chum,
which too often results in a feeding frenzy I find myself wishing was
quite simply off list.
Given the state of the archives, which have been turned off for months,
an attempt at noise reduction need not be twisted into some bold move by
the evil empire.
Ooooo you called me out for a bad trader, now I have to mention my for
sale list! Email me in private for a copy.

ps: Perhaps you are right, perhaps the IDM list should be about
intelligent dance music and there should be another list for
helping people with general soup to nuts musical community
information. Serious.
