Dustin- "maybe i am missing the point as to why techno should be kept separate from everything like it is so much better... well what makes it so much better??"
You seem to miss the key point of the 313 list here-the list exists for the sole purpose of talking about Detroit techno because we want to talk about Detroit Techno and just techno. We don't want to talk about trance, jazz, the Spanish Inquisition, sea monkeys, or Bevery Hills 90210. It's not that techno is BETTER than the Spanish Inquisition, we just don't CARE about that HERE. Get over this and move on. If you don't like, make your own techno + trance + jazz + the Spanish Inquisition e-mail list. Scott 4th dimension/detroit
