Mm, in a sense, yes. As I recall you were the one bitching about the
static state of (313-)music today. And I quote one of your earlier mails
to the list:
"Its about quality music that doesn't wind its own *ss around the
flagpole of yesterday in order to be credible. its about music that looks
to the future and doesn't constantly look back in bitterness and proclaim
victories."
So, why are you still on the pointless rant that has been going around for
a while now? I haven't seen anything but whining, smart-assing and
attempts to get the final word on the subject. If you are truly
interested in making progress to the music, and if you truly want to
change the way things are now, put out a party of _your own_, write your
own reviews etc. _Contribute_ to the list and try to make a difference
instead of whining about how something doesn't please you.
