Sterling - one of the good things Tom/Graham did was to add a FAQ section to this new board. I agreed with someone who wondered whether it should contain/have links to the 'ILM standard definitions' (as far as they exist!) of certain terms that newer people might never have encountered. Maybe one thing ppl should be encouraged to do is spend alot of time reading the archives before joining in - although it's SO difficult not to want to jump right in....

Sterling: are you suggesting I change my monnicker? Come on, you must be able to see past my pathetic satire of myself and the abstracted concept that is you [plural].

(it is a shame that dave q won't post questions anymore. his 'aerosmith's 'rocks' as first dub-punk album' thread made me hear that record in a totally new way, and his other questions are totally brain-probing.)

dave, please don't stop posting questions. even if i don't respond to them, i still treasure them.

yeah i always thought dave q's threads were fairly interesting as well...

Q's just fishing for compliments (us canucks need so much love). he also deserves them, damn it.

I'm new here but not to music and certainly not to discussion groups. I find myself reading, on average, maybe 5 threads every few days. There are some smart people on here and worthwhile opinions for sure, but it all collapses under the weight of new threads with hundreds of posts. If you're not there when it happens it becomes a far less useful resource, and discussion goes haywire far too quickly.

I've never seen such pointed obsessiveness, opinion bashing, "ultimate decisions" (all this C/D and S/D shite), and the like -- quite the opposite of an informed, developing discussion of music. This thing should be called "I Stalk Music".

(Now that I reminded myself what this thread was about, I think I should have left it slumber: too much material directed at individuals. I just kind of wanted to show that this is not a new subject exactly.)

The "C/D and S/D shite" is a rhetorical device, not an absolute judgement, mosurock.

as a relatively new member let me say that i LOVE C/D S/D threads and lists and obsessiveness.

How do the people who have been here a really long time remain interested? I've been here two years and we're still talking about the same shit most of the time.

it goes in phases dave225: sometimes i think OMIGOD NOT THIS AGAIN!! and sometimes i think "haha i shall surely enjoy bringing a blank look to THIS fellow's honest open face"

Often it's less about what's being discussed and more about how it is -- which dovetails nicely with my 'mood over specifics' approach to music. ;-)

Yeah, I know, I know .. I'm just really bored with all of the threads right now...

''How do the people who have been here a really long time remain interested? I've been here two years and we're still talking about the same shit most of the time.''

heh, we've even talked abt how 'circular' the threads get.

I enjoy talking shit but the ans would be that you never know: a common topic will be explored differently by someone new...there might some interesting things when you least expect. and then you can get into flame wars...all good fun.
