Preface:  where the hell are the smileys...

|I fully support this idea! Currently the only techno news around is on 
|alt.rave.  To be quite frank, most of the alt.ravers are just wanna bes
|who have no real idea about the music and are just too interested in what
|the last E did to them, rather than going out and buying some decent music.

Ok, obviously you have no clue.  Many frequent contributors to
alt.rave and the great sfraves mailing list are DJs, Rave Promoters,
etc.  Very little discussion is devoted to the drugs....Most of it IS
about the music, and the rave scene in various areas - the communal
atmosphere, what people like/don't like, reviews of raves, how to put
one on, etc., etc.  You might try reading the group for awhile before
making statements like this...

Again, I say, where's your smileys...

|Let most of these guys decay in their own chemical soup, and let the people
|who really love the music get on and talk about their music.

Turn off your local "expose" tv show for awhile and try out a few
raves before making statements like this...

|The above newgroup categories however, may be pushing it for a while.
|just an alt.techno will do until you get more people posting.  Really, it
|should be called alt.hardcore.techno.  That will keep all the pretend techno
|postings out.  I really do not call stuff like 2 unlimited techno.  That is
|commercial, try hard bull!  If anyone calls that techno they should hang their
|head in shame.  That is the sort of stuff that is b-ing posted in alt.rave.

Hahaha....First of all, musical tastes and preferences have little
value in alt.config, so, I'll dispense with commenting on that
worthless dribble....

And, BTW, the original poster proposed 'alt.music.techno' and not
'alt.techno' and most certainly not 'alt.hardcore.techno'...Having
'.music' in there is a necessity, as without it people could interpret
the group in a variety of ways - technology in general,
technoculture/new edge, technology and society, etc., etc.

|WE WANT TEKKNO REAL TECHNO!

OK D00D!!!  Wave goodbye, BIFF...
