I never said seniority had anything to do with
anything. It's more about witnessing the decline of
this list and the ratio between useful interesting
posts and totally useless moronic ones. How useless
were the Boards Of Canada gay insinuations, or the
hundreds of other equally dumb threads that fill up
our mailboxes.
If people want to talk about music cool, if on a rare
occasion they happen to want to get something off
their chest and see if other people on this list feel
the same way. I'm supportive of that too.

Maybe more substance than the average post on IDM.

I don't think I've seen any posts that have
demonstrated anyone being "ill-informed", or anything
of a serious nature that would spread ignorance. I
think the posts were more about getting informed on
the issues.

It's quite obvious that this war is going to happen,
because Bush doesn't want to look weak and he has
spent a fortune of the taxpayers money mobilizing for
war.

Useless threads
