ok, so here's my opinion, cuz i know you all want to hear it. i subscribed to
this list because i like modest mouse....alot. however i also did it with the
knowledge that most modest mouse fans like other music, and so i figured i
could meet some of those people (sort of) and be enlightened on some of their
tastes in music, and on occasion other topics. i personally am not
interested in every post that i get from this list, but for the most part its
worth digging through my mail when i find someone talking about a new band to
check out or what not. bottom line: lists get off topic. its gonna happen.
and i hate lists where every time someone says something even slightly off
topic, a moderator has to come in and say "hey guys, email each other
privately" or "this is not on topic." i will reiterate, lists get off topic.
deal with it or unsubscribe.
p.s. i just read the coolest line ever in keep the aspidistra flying by
george orwell.
it goes "forced from the outside, the letter flap lifted, and with
an effort, like a heron regurgitating a flatfish, vomited a bunch of letters
on to the mat." well i thought it was cool. sorry, that was "off topic"
