God, I am usually just a bystander in this list but I have got to say something on this one....
Why does it have to have a dictionary definition??? I think everyone has their own opinions as to what techno means. Techno is a very broad term and means different things to different people. If you find some techno to be trancy, well thats great, but I am positive that people are getting really sick of seeing your name in their inbox trying to find a deeper meaning to it all......in fact I don't think at this point if there was a definition that you would get one.....i am guessing that your messages are either a)being filtered or b)getting deleted before read at this point. Just face it, this is a battle that could go on for eons.......just give it up and give techno your own definition.....there are way to many genres and sub-genres out there and what one person considers one style another might consider something else.... just get over it already........its a battle that obviously will never be won peace -K ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dustin A Sledgianowski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2000 2:43 PM Subject: Re: [313] Re: What is up with 313 > if you cannot answer a simple question like "what is techno" then > obviously you dont know > and if you dont know then it is important because how long have you been > on this list without knowing what techno means?? it is the most list > relevant thing there could be > it is more important that people know the truth rather than worry who is > annoyed... > what are the hardships of keeping it real?? how can you know it is real > if you dont even know what techno MEANS > dustin > > On Wed, 14 Jun 2000 14:46:08 -0700 Todd Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > writes: > > Dustin, > > > > You are posting to a list that is subscribed to by thousands of > > people. > > You are also taking email that people post to you privately and > > sending > > your response back to the list.
