I don't think he was ever apologising or hiding anything at all- it was
(as he has stated quite a few times now) simply an attempt to make
people focus on the music and not the personality behind the music.
As for "techno elitists" and the whole "underground" thing, its just
not something that pops up in most music fans conversations these days,
at least not in the sort of negative clique-ey sort of way that it
perhaps used to- I simply can't remember the last time I heard someone
complain "oh, they're just not underground anymore"- give us a few
examples of the people you are talking about?
cheers
