Re: gig spam

["Matthew Wiley" <matthewf5@hotmail.com>]

i totally agree.  my point was to have one place that everyone can go to 
and 
see whats up in the live realm.  sometimes i get so many emails from LD 
that 
i just delete the gig spam.  i want to know whats going on, and it would 
be 
easier to just go to the given space for gigs, that would make it easier 
for 
everyone.  posting and making people aware of mp3's and website addresses 
is 
no problem i too like the fact that i can write and someone emails me 
right 
back.  it is a living breathing thing that is essential to the looping 
community.
peace
matt
