Perhaps I should have said. The FAQ as well as the 313 list are a part Detroit Techno history.
The content of the FAQ contains information not only relevant to joining the list, but also contains historical information about Detroit Techno, Individuals involved, music formats, even the significance of the 313 area code. The 313 mailing list has provided(s) a wealth of knowledge regarding Detroit Techno and influenced genres, artists, etc… going back through archives can/could provide not only historical information, but also some context for said information. The music, the people, the scene, and yes the flame wars are all part of that. Both are relevant to the history of Detroit Techno. dennisj > On 27May, 2026, at 21:18, Danielle Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm glad that the flame wars have died off. > > > > > > On Wed, May 27, 2026, 7:28 p.m. kent williams <[email protected]> wrote: > What makes the FAQ a classic is that both A Number of Names and > Drexciya have long since been identified.
