yeah man, vote techno! You may think itsw a waste of time but it only takes a minute, so what's the harm. I come from a hard dance backgorund and i've got to say so many people seem to be getting in to techno - its maybe not as easy to come by than otehr genres so people end up lsitenign to tranc and stuff liek that cos tehy dotn necessarily know that there's better out there. perhaps. the only problem lies when house heads hear a techno tune and think its tech-house or whatever. or hard dance folk hear techno and think its hard house - that can be a bit annoying. but i reckon any promttion for techno is better than none.
