The same can be said for Floo and Chris Hilker. Why didn't they call it the
"Floo & Chris Fan Club" instead of IDM, then? I'm not being paid to pat them
on the back in a long drawn out self-congratulatory chat-fest, either.

Except if Chris or Floo claim "open minds" on one hand, and exercise
dictatorial censorship on the other. i.e. As long as <X> refers to a
recording artist with a track on Warp's Artificial Intelligence CD (or a
topic about We're-ever-so-much-more-hip-than-you-because-we-run-this-list-
so-we-decide-what-is-hip). The only thing hip about Floo & Chris's latest
jihad to "enlighten" us sinners for having interests outside of Warp's AI
series is that some of us recognize it for the big pile of hypocritical
horse excrement it really is.

Came-Out-Within-The-Past-Week-And-I'm-Ever-So-Much-More-Hip-Than-You

Or you could start the "Intelligent-Dance-Music-List-That-Really-IS-About-
Intelligent-Dance-Music-And-Really-Does-Have-People-With-Minds-Open-To-New-
Ideas-Instead-Of-That-"WARP-Recording-Artists-Only"-List-That-Pretends-
To-Be-About-IDM-" list. Why don't Floo & Chris just shut down IDM and start
the Warp-list. That way myself and others who feel this way (and potential
subscribers) won't feel so........deceived. What's so intelligent about a
list whose discussion centers around something other than what its name
would indicate?
If IDM is *not* a forum about IDM, then don't call it that.
