Great to hear from you Jayson - been awaiting your reply, all day. Hope your day is going well.
Whilst the questions are offered light-heartedly (and I hope you also noted, with studied courtesy) there is a serious intent, from the point of view of techno lovers on this list. It's simply nice to hear you say you actually like Detroit techno and for that matter, techno after your unfavourable comments on the same. More importantly, it's very heartening to hear you say something courteous about Juan Atkins after many so many posts punctuated with expletives and near-virulent abuse of the man. Juan Atkins is not a God, but he's a man who many here have a great and deep respect for. To me Juan Atkins is at least analogous to Miles Davis as an artist, and a human being. He also has a commensurate dollop of downside too, just like Miles Davis - he aint perfect. You appear to have little sympathy with the reasoning which Juan and many others here, have voiced about race and the music industry. Of course again, you're entitled to such. But your mode of expression is so venomous at times it more than verges on the insulting. I seem to remember that you're famous around here too, for your 'stupid nigger' remark. You're entitled to think/feel that way of course, but the logic of venting your views in this particular forum escapes me, and many. Even now however, I'm prepared to accept that you mean well. But the only conclusion anyone could come to if you continue in the same vein from here on, is that your deliberate aim is to insult artists and list members and as I said elsewhere, anyone who doesn't agree with you. Ultimately that may not matter a great deal to most of us (although many will continue to get irrate) but my experience is that these kind of things always matter to the instigating individual mid-to-long term, in subtle and sometimes quite direct ways. This is quite apart from the fact that you are wasting your time and will eventually be simply ignored. To be ignored is no great shame. Except when you wish to use the list as a resource that is. Of course your opinion is very important indeed, but the fact is, that you have managed to express things in such a way that the net impresson many have about you and your your views, until now, has been a negative one. Anyway, do what you like. My greatest pleasure today is simply prompting you to say something (anything frankly) that's positive! All the best, Ken >-----Original Message----- >From: Jayson B.
