I don't think the discussion is getting hostile. Folks are just sharing
their opinions, and that's why I love this list.
I know Neil - we hung out in Montreal when I was touring in the spring.
We're all cool :)

Dennis, this neil guy is a knob. I'm sorry to be so crass, but jezus, i hate it when people just try to make a competiton out of the whole scene. Kind of sad to say, come and watch me, play my records, and if you don't like me piss off. I mean please.
Does it matter if you dance around on stage and make your show a show, after
all that's what people are paying their money for, otherwise why not just buy a
CD and listen to it at home? But each to their own, no one is wrong no one is
right, some people have a visual part to their act, some don't, so what?
I'm fed up of people ssaying do this, do that, this is better, I am better than you. Raaagahaghaghg.
On the laptop front, i've just ditched my turntables, and now use nothing else but Traktor. Does that make me a different DJ? I'm still beatmatching, i'm just using MP3 instead of vinyl. Anyway, as i've always said, Mixing is done on the mixer, not the decks/laptop.
I know the discussion is re: Live shows, but hey, no one takes us laptop "DJ's"
seriously!!!!
