I agree. People can get pretty severe about on-topicness, but then again, people want to preserve the integrity of a relatively unpoluted list.
Thing is, there are other lists for techno not specifically from Detroit. Granted we all have broader tastes and 90% of the people on the list accept some deviance from the rules. The thing is, there are some basic concepts that aren't being adhered to, like short, one-line replies, etc, and most of the people of this list (I think there are like 800 subscribers), have seen the pro-Swede argument come and go through 313 a million times. Almost every time it does (or in it's newest form - Ben Sims), people continue to discuss it ad nauseum even though it's off-topic. I just ask that people newer to the list check out the archives on these topics, because it gets tiresome for those of us that have been here a few years to see the same cyclical threads over and over and over again. I think that's why a lot of long-timers have left the list or gone into hiding.
