Re: [microsound] I´m outta here

[Deadbeat <recursive_syntax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Given there has been alot of off topic posting, and I think it's safe to say
we all know why there were so many on one particular topic. But why the hell
are you getting your knickers in such a twist over 40 technology related
posts, especially since both the the people who started the threads
apologized for the off topic nature of there questions ? Perhaps (ot) could
be put in the subject line since it appears you're not reading the words
that are written there and deleting the message since it obviously isn't
going to contain anything your interested in reading about...anyways, just
throw on Pub's new album, sit back, relax, and hit delete....
