>either you worship his stuff or you think he's terribly overrated. Or you take a completely neutral approach and not really worship - or think he's not "all that" - I can take or leave just about anyone's music/DJing abilities depending on what it sounds like and what I'm interested in hearing at the time.

Richie would be a funny Janus-faced playa-hata' at that, since he's probably the most simultaneously adored & dissed techno DJ/producer since Jeff Mills (who is, i think, still the most polarizing force in 313-discussions -- either you worship his stuff or you think he's terribly overrated). But y'know, at least Jeff Mills never (to my knowledge) openly dissed anybody for what they chose to put in their sets. And as popular (and wealthy) as Hawtin is, you'd think he could afford to buy himself some magnanimity. (*IF* he actually dissed Dave Clarke, which I never read before or heard him say.) -marc
