Thanks to xxxx@xxxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx (Mark Stevens) for
suggesting the real dirt on this post:

"Well, they're real enough in the sense that someone, somewhere is
posting messages and signing off as Sean and Rob. As for whether or
not it's Autechre is open to debate, but Sean and Rob don't strike me
as the sort of guys who'd just set up a brand, spanking new Demon
account purely to post a few lines of bullshit in a music mailing
list. They also strike me as the sort of guys who'd know how to set up
Pegasus properly -- and at least be using the latest version of it."

Perhaps the poster ( who(m)ever he/they ) may be in it for the ride, for fun?
Is there anyone out there who can *really* see a musician
( no less a rather famous one ) going to a list, reading reviews/discussions
which vary from total praise to slam AND THEN POST BACK to the list
( under their OWN NAMES ?)  with:

">> Rewson, SAFE, Waihopai, INFOSEC, ASPIC, Information
>> Security, SAI, Information Warfare, IW, IS, Privacy, Information
>> Terrorism, Terrorism Defensive Information, Defense Information
>> Warfare, Offensive Information, Offensive Information Warfare,
>> NAIA, SAPM, ASU, ASTS, N

?

I can't for the life of me think why Sean and Rob would give a *dog's ass*
what folks on this, or any other, music list think.
If it realy is them, they just posted the *funniest* post in the history of
this list.

I should have saved this post as my last name is interspersed in there.
I'm so excited I'm wiping off my keyboard.......

PS: can anyone see a generic email "hotword" factor in the above quote from
S + R?....guess
someone out there has been reading too much Noam Chomsky.
