Because we don't live on this list. We all have whole lives outside of
this list, in real communities, where we all form our own opinions on
political, moral, ethical, spiritual, sexual, psychological issues. I
don't need a random musician, dj, or record collector to help me along
on them (especially one who has nothing ON topic to say ... when is the
last time this person (assuming these mails weren't posted by a script)
posted something about microsound? Why are some anonymous dork's
context-free cookie-cutter autoresponses credible?).

Is microsound cruel to animals? Does music eat meat?

     When you can't give anything, you can also receive nothing. 
     Through giving, you also receive. You can never stop giving. 
     When you have nothing more to give, you're dead.
