Re: (313) do not hate on discogs
i will say that theyve pushed through my recent comments within hours. it seems like theyre really trying. i love discogs, i use it daily. tom -- Original Message -- From: jason kenjar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2004 15:19:46 -0500 Pardon me Mr. taylor, but I dont see how somebody who spams the list daily with one or two quick sentences of over-simplified arrogant generalizations has the guts to call the discogs website sh!t. Im just one of the many free users and am not affiliated with the site by any other means, but I still have to stand up for them if you feel it necissary to besmirch their name. Discogs has been very helpful to me in the past. I can only recollect a fraction of the many times I have found discogs to be totally helpful. Knowledge is power, and there is a lot you can learn if your are willing to spend some time researching discogs. its also totally free, you dont even have to be a member to search its information libraries. And is it so unthinkable and unforgivable that there would be spotty information about Basic Channel? I consider myself a fairly well informed member of the under ground community, and even i think all the basic channel records look alike. Artists like von oswald arent about advertising themselves nearly as much as you do for yourself.

Re: (313) do not hate on discogs
The last couple of weeks have had the worst stretch of nasty language and out-and-out personal attacks that I can recall in nearly 10 years on 313. It's annoying at best and doesn't do anything to convince us that you are right. out fred
RE: (313) do not hate on discogs
I'd have to stand up for Discogs as well. They don't go out and track down every release's information and input it themselves; they rely on the contributors for accuracy but it doesn't always work out that way. I use it as a reference, not an end all...
