People, why is it that literally every second message I've recieved from
this fucking mailing list in the last while has contained little more than
"[insert band name here] suck/blows/is shit/etc.". 

Please. All of you. Read this and try to understand:

There's nothing wrong with disliking a particular artist, or style of
music, or whatever. But if you feel the need to share this dislike with
the rest of us, please try to *justify* and *explain* the reasons for your
dislike of said artist/style/etc. Offer some real criticisms or analysis.
Offer reasons why the music that you *do* enjoy is "better" than the music
that you don't. Try to do this without insulting those who enjoy the stuff
that you're criticizing.

In other words, stop and fucking THINK for a moment or two!

And if you attempt to do this but still find that the only opinion you
have to offer is that something "sucks", then do yourself, me and everyone
else on this list a favour - either take it to private email or SHUT THE
FUCK UP! 

This rant was brought to you by not enough sleep last night and too much
coffee aggrivating my ulcer. Have a nice day.

Greg

PS: Oh yeah - Neubauten does NOT suck, so nyah nyah nyah. :-)
