Yeah, but don't you accept that the "huge range of opinions" you mention is, at the end of the day, an amalgamation of the opinions of a whole range of individuals? And that some of these individuals might sometimes dare to voice the specific opinions they have on the subject of techno? And that they may in fact dare to do so on the 313 list, in the hope that they're not going to be pounced on by someone taking their remarks completely the wrong way?
You seem to imply that because one person's view of what techno is might contradict someone else's completely, people shouldn't be allowed to say what their views of techno actually *are*. I disagree with this entirely - I'm extremely interested in what other people's views of techno music are and I would like to see *more* people try to articulate it, rather than have it turn into a taboo subject you can't mention on 313 without being leapt on.
