Hey guys! What's this list coming to? Lately I've recieved about 70-80 mails /day and _VERY_ few of these have actually contained any information worthwile. I mean, this orbital thing, It's fuckin hilarious... The worst thing tho is that this list ain't no IDM discussion list nomore. People are discussing U2, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Primal Scream, David Bowie, Prince n samba. People are selling stupid drummachines, and discuss what kind of headphones one should use. People are advertising for their computer-demo homepage. People are asking for good shops in this-or-that area. All this is to be justified with putting a "on: aphex twin; blue calx" beneath the signature. I won't let you think that I'm some kinda snowed under narrowminded twat sitting with my computer complaining about all n everything. Actually i kinda like Sinatra n U2, and i'm pretty interested in knowing about different turntables. If i could, I'll prolly try to sell you a sequencer or two as well. But this is not what this list is about. Or am I wrong? I thank those who still post reviews, for-sale lists (i've gotten myself some really great music this way, at a cheap rate), information about new releases, all these kinda things. I admire ppl like Fresh, James Skilton and Jason McCollum for actually diong something that matters. I think this list would work very well as some kind of forum between us and the people involved in the releases that we praise on this list but... Ken Downing left, Grant from Rephlex spoke about leaving, and I haven't seen a post from Warp-Greg for a long time... Lemme say this: I'm not surprised... Lately there's also been posts from people who didn't find this list useful, and If I recently subscribed I would've left faster than I came... Now as it happens to be, I've been on this list for some while and I know that every now and then intelligent and/or interesing posts pop up, I've also made some great frinds thanks to this list,but If I didn't have my free internet offer I would do this to myself. I wouldn't fucking plow through 80 senseless posts a day. I believe the situation has to be thought over... Any suggestions of what to do? Or is it only me feeling this way... Opinions anyone. yeah, and fear my spelling. Cheers, Franz Enmark typ Levnadsklapare.
