I too am saying no names, but damn--is it really that necessary for people to make it a point to shxt on others verbally (or the lack there-of). I mean these fxckers join the list for some reason, but it is definitely not to network. It seems like they just wanna show the world how much knowledge they have about techno--ooooooh, aren't we cool? It just makes me laugh that these "internet elitists" are so fxcking cool in there own little worlds and it's almost like the real world doesn't exist. All I know is that whenever I get anywhere in this business, I'll do my best to help the ones trying to make it. I do what I can now (even though it aint much). Whatever, I'm done--it's no use. Good luck Jason, and everyone else. I hope we all find our place in this world soon and quit shxtting on each other in the process. I'm no better than anyone else, period.
