anyone who knows me in real life i.e outside of this board knows i dont give a toss what anyone thinks about me as a person, there's many who'd vouch for that certainly.... that wasnt really the point, put it this way people go on about wanting to attract the attention of new people to techno, well when people do get into it they see artists bickering with each other, arguing on the internet and actual physical violence due to shit thats happened on message boards... thats just OTT and usually stems from crap like that on discogs

just my view of course
