Is there a difference between him >simply stating his beleifs and spreading them on a large scale? i think there is a difference. moby simply stating his beliefs is just him being responsible for his chosen lifestyle. spreading them on a large scale implies some sort of scheme to convert, which i find is usually not met very positively. speaking from many years of experience as a vegetarian/vegan, people will take notice of your actions and respect you more if you simply go about your life the way you've decided to live it and not try to preach to them about it. april. :> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1998 17:13:21 -0600 From: "Brad Caviness" Subject: (mobility) May I suggest a solution? - -----Original Message----- >> Ok...so here's the scoopage..I don't understand what the big deal is in >> hitting the delete button. > >because i dont want to have to dload 45messages of nothing.. > Before this turns into something nasty for everyone involved, might I suggest a tactic that works wonders for other listervs I subscribe to (Vigilantes of Love, Over the Rhine, Duran Duran, U2, etc.). If your message contains off-topic material, preface the subject header with a "@" symbol. If you don't want to read off-topic material, program your inbox filter to automatically delete all messages with a "@" in the subject without even downloading them. If you're like me and you enjoy a good off-topic discussion, you can still enjoy the ebb and flow of the list. Since the other lists have adopted this strategem, petty bickering on off-topic posting has come to a standstill and everyone gets along nicely. I suggest we give it a try. Another possible solution is to have Damian moderate the list and screen out inappropriate material, though that's a lot of effort on his part, and may keep valuable information out that many of us would enjoy. Or he can set the list so that replies automatically go to the original sender rather than back to the list, so tangential discussions get taken off-list sooner and without effort for the participants (in deed, it would take work - changing the "To" header - to send a reply to the list, thereby causing one to pause, is this something for the list or the author?).

He reminds me a lot of U2, spending his formative years being idealistic and vocal about his beliefs. So who's to say, when he's older and more popular, that he shun the idealistic image and act a porn, I mean, rock star.

Getting off-topic can be good. When you have an artist like Moby who can go a year or longer without a significant release, and tours mainly only when he has new product to promote, and there is little to talk about "on topic", off topic divergences are a way for list members to discover other things they have in common and forge a community rather than just a group of raving teeny-boppers. We can talk about the things Moby talks about in his liner notes, discuss view points that we share or disagree on, and since we all have Moby in common, talk about other artists whose work we appreciate. And if you don't want that, tell your email client to filter at messages with an "@" in the subject. I'm glad we got a little personal on the list over the weekend. I've been introduced to two other gay list members because of it, and many other christians, and these are things I'm a richer person for. Even if I might not ever meet these people in person. And it is all indirectly because of Moby, and our common admiration of him and his music. And I think that's pretty on-topic.

Do you >actually use moby as a basis for your moral/ethical decisions or is this just mild banter? Well I personally dont look to moby for political or religious views. Most of the music I listen to is with the intent of the music itself. Not whether or not the guy worships satan, eats cookie dough, or is a politician. Of course there are certain ones like if the guy is a racist i wont listen to the music. But when i listen to Moby's music i'm not looking for the meaning of life or anything of that matter, I'm just listening to it for the music. Whether it be a happy techno jump around song, or a beautiful piece like "god moving" or "alone". I dont think Moby would want a bunch of people looking at him as some sort of god, well at least i dont think so. but me personally i look to him for musical ideas, since i'm always trying to hear and make new stuff. Well I think i've babbled enough, hope i made sense.

I like the idea of using the "@" or something else - whoever suggested that. I started blowing 10-20 messages away per day, and what I worry about is that I am blowing away relevant info (like information or questions about "Thanks"). I can't honestly keep up with all of these conversations, and I think they are relevant to those involved, but some filter process is needed. I see an "@" as the simplest method. Just my .02. I'm in the middle of finishing a project which is why I've been so slow on the compilation stuff. Also, thanks to those involved in the MP3 discussion - your info has been MOST helpful. I'll be posting a status sometime later this week, as soon as I get a chance to un-bury myself.
