my 0,2c:

- if techno goes down, i don't care. I can't do anything against it.
- i dont believe that techno goes down. if it does, well, there's no way to prevent it.

mark, dont meant to be offensive, but the same discussion is being held in almost all techno forums over the world. and: if everybody is talking about it, techno *will* go down.

so don't worry about it, it will go on, and nobody can predict how all this will go on. it's not a period, its evolution :)
