Ok guys lets face it.

So talking to shops, distributers and label owners isn`t enough?
does santa have the answer then?

ok ok. im not hear to bash individual experiences. and yes talking to these organizations is very good for getting THEIR information.

but i would like to see people stop aplying their expeirences to the whole world.

this forum is a global community. and from my first day here i have preached that the techno scene is banging and doign very well. but, thats my experience.

Yes but to appraise any situation then you collate as much information form as many sources as possible so as to get a good average.
THEIR information as you put it, when applied as a whole, is THE information.
Who else do we talk to, encyclopedia salesmen?
bus drivers?
I fail to see your point.
