though detroit/area now has other area codes like 248, etc, 313 was the original area code and has universal meaning as "313 = Detroit". the 313 list is all about Detroit/detroit music and things that can be related to detroit and detroit music. (and not just detroit *techno* as some might think, but detroit *music*). so detroit stuff is fine, things you can relate to detroit stuff are fine, asking a question about neck piercing (from an old thread :)), posts that belong on a rave list, CCing or BCCing mails to 313 "just in case the poster thinks 313 readers might want to read it despite the fact it might be about nothing that can be remotely related" etc/et al, ain't! andrew duke :)
