Additionally, it is not up to one person to decide what everyone should talk about nor should that be the way it works. Personally, I like hearing about new artists and appreciate those kind of threads. > because > uh...well like I said......But confrontation is easy from a keyboard And how does this pertain to Patty and music? Who is confronting whom? You are way off base here and let it be known I would confirm the same thing to you in person. The idea of a discussion list is so people can talk *diplomatically* about Patty and music...we might not always agree, but that is the beauty of holding passionate discussions about something that all joins us together in an electronic society. > .....and > of course we all can do just whatever we want..but....and correct me if I am > wrong...this is a Patty Griffin site so argue away but some things just sort > of define themselves Nobody in my recollection is debating whether or not we are, in fact, a Patty Griffin list. > ......you can say black is blue...but hey it don't make > it so Correction, it "doesn't" make it so... So if you don't feel that you are getting what you want out of the list, perhaps it is not for you, but being argumentative is not going to stop anyone on the list from sending email. I think the true problem is that there was a different expectation of what you were going to get; perhaps when a new person subscribes they can get an introduction of the kind of conversation that happens on a daily basis and an idea of the volume of email involved so they are not overwhelmed or have a different expectation. > ...and besides..I just simply don't want to wade through all the stuff > that is totally irrelevant to the Patty Griffin site...sort of like this way > to lengthy note...nuff said > I respect your insight and perhaps the other Patty list would be better for you?

I have to read the email to find out if it is his or mine. I read what you people talk about and can only think one thing. Get a freakin' life. She's just a musician. Get over it. Shut off the computer, go outside and take a walk. Talk to some real people sometime. It could be fun. Maybe some of you out there might even get laid once in a while. You guys sound so lame babbling on about the version of this song in Somerville and that song in Houston. "Oh, please tell me all about the show because I had to work and couldn't go." Jees!! Sincerely, Seth A Quimby Laconia NH ps. Feel free to stop by and see me in person to vent your anger. But don't email me 'cause I won't care. cmw@pa.net wrote: > Mike Gorecki ponders: > > > Here is the deal...this isn't a chat room but I will say that if I want info > > or discussion about other artists I am inclined to use that artist's > > site..if they don't have one....well there are general music discussion chat > > sites all over the web.....I check this site for info about Patty > > With all due respect, this is a "discussion" mailing list, you have the option > of going to the web site if you don't want to be a part of the conversation. > Additionally, it is not up to one person to decide what everyone should talk > about nor should that be the way it works.
