With regard to Michael's dissing of my Jeff Mills .sig... :) I don't remember what list it was, but that .sig has already touched off a mini-debate as to it's meaning, so let's not get into another one, o.k.?. The key is to just not take the quote *too* literally, as it's all in the interpretation. Definitely don't let it offend you. Yeah, it may be a bit extreme, but ultimately I just see it as praising the virtues of innovation and futurism in techno - nothing more, nothing less. Certainly that's not a bad thing, now is it? :) - Matthew "I grew up thinking that techno music is actually something that you can't imagine. That is techno at its best. If you hear something that you'd never expect to hear - that's techno. If you hear something that kind of sounds like you've heard it before, then it's not techno." - Jeff Mills
