Umm, while you may very well deserve your opinion, sometimes it's best kept to yourself.
Alan used to post on this list quite frequently, and I am personally sad that he no longer does, since it was great to be able to talk to an original 313'er with tonnes of history behind him. The man knows what he's talking about and gives tonnes of respect where it is deserved. Something some of us lack a great deal of. Have some respect and even if you have none then shut the f*ck up! todd ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [313] JEFF MILLS-MARCH 1 > > Re: the ongoing debate about Jeff's mixing skills, he is one of the most > > innovative electronic music talents of the 20th Century.
