Sinister: The New Album: Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy

[Coldcolours at xxx.com]

Hello,

    Question: Which is a greater threat to the viability of this mailing 
list, the perceived irrelevance of some of the posts, or the insults and 
negativity of those who protest them?
    I personally would much rather read about the lives of B+S fans and their 
attempts to reconcile to the band's new found popularity (?) than a hundred 
and one reviews of the legal man video. This is a time of chaos/conflict for 
all us self-proclaimed indie snobs (or just me :) ) who want to keep B+S 
under the bed, so we can enjoy it exactly as we perceive it, and not have it 
be spoiled by the indifference or misinterpretation of the "mainstream." I 
find other fans' perspectives on this fascinating.  
    To those who are annoyed by this list: you knew when you signed up that 
it was not straight, low-volume content. You are killing the list as you 
protest against its dying by insulting people and being rude. 
    That's all I have to say about that. If you think I am mistaken about the 
purpose of this list, then correct me. But nicely, please!
Joanna

PS Perhaps we are adopting premature opinions about the new album just so we 
can have opinions? Maybe we shouldn't judge until we have weighed the 
evidence carefully. Maybe we just shouldn't judge at all.
