What is it with this list lately, where one of you will put up some obscure quote, or statement...just to make a point, and it opens up a can of worms where you all try to out-intellectualize each other? Reading email that is interesting to me, and pertinent to the music form i like to engage in TAKES UP ENOUGH OF MY TIME ALREADY... Your narrow minded rants are geting boring. Imagine if i tore someone a new asshole, just because they used a Headrush to get the job done, and me, i used an EDP. And then a few other people chimed in, telling just how OBVIOUS it was that the Jam Man was the supreme deal. My DL4 can beat up your RDS... It's the same thing your doing...just with your politics, your philosophy, your favorite authors, your opinions... shut up and get the job done. rich At 11:56 PM 3/20/00 +0100, you wrote: > > >SketchyJoe@aol.com schrieb: > >> Discipline is a function of order.
