Your story is truly touching, however the comment that was made I believe was directed towards people who were around at the time, never well-recieved or ignored the electronic music scene of the time (regardless of where they were from) and now want to jump on the IDM sound and now then want to dismiss tracks on the Warp 10+1 as garbage and insignificant. You obviously claim to have experienced and appreciated this music at the time and up till today so good for you. that was the original point exactly, though your problem lies more with your inferiority complex towards people from large cities as you sit around on your lonesome. You claim they just don't listen to what poor Tom from Huntsville has to say and that it holds no weight, come on that can't be true. I'm listening. We're all listening.

No Tom, the real consolation here is the fact that someone in Huntsville, Alabama can form sentences with words. Most impressive. Pass me my forty and how about them Yankees!
