the metalanguage problem as basis for apparent inanity

["MIKO" <m-i-k-o@attbi.com>]

Mark,

Communicating these things to me sets me straight often.  If it seemed I
ignored you before, I didn't see.

Sometimes I have written to "see my posts"- but I'm trying hard to evolve
beyond that ego masturbation.

What you don't understand is that for a while I was crazy enough to think
that aside from music, people were or have been using innuendo on this list
as a way of making humorous communications through subtext.  Thus, Mark,
there have been times when I responded to the perceived innuendo and not to
the directly discussed musically-based looping discussion.

And if you review recent posts I think you'll see that "looper" and
"repeater" are very often used as metaphor, and that there's a 
sub-community
of this list who use humor and metalanguage to discuss looping as a concept
or philosophy that and guide or underscore the life of a looping musician,
and not just the act of creating and using audio loops for music.

Regards,

MIKO

I actually did ask him to calm down with the hippy rhetoric a while ago and
it
made no difference.  Insulted him repeatedly, no change.  Filters are the
only way
to go.  He's the exact type of person that screams about "fascists" while 
he
goes
through life oblivious to everyone and everything around him.  He writes to
see
his posts, not to communicate, though he'd never admit it or even realize
it.  I
for one would be happy to have him off the list, as he contributes very
little and
floods my inbox.  I know that seems cold, but I really try to work hard to
write
emails that have a degree of facts and an honest educated opinion.  I
believe in
this community and it's resources, and I endeavor to be one of the
resources, not
random bandwidth suck.

Miko: more signal, less noise please.  Just because you thought it, you
don't have
to write it.
