i don't really think ILM suffers from this though. does it? I don't understand Ned's comment.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 7 November 2005 03:29 (twenty years ago)

Yes, there are way too many people here who don't care about people and don't care about music!

ilx doesn't care about people or music you say?

― john p. irrelevant (electricsound), Monday, 7 November 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)
