I agree. Some of my favorite and most rewarding parts of the Jam
have come from NDTC. :-) I love learning about new bands and such! It's
really just not that hard to skip over what you don't want to read. Every
mailing list cycles through those kinds of problems and you eventually just
have to learn how to deal with it in your own way. Fortunately, the Ytsejam
still has something of a community -- a sense of caring -- thanks to people
like Mike Bahr who put in the extra effort. Without the community and
without the diverse non-DT content that comes from it, I don't know if
I'd still be here. The Ytsejam is a community -- DT being the core that
initially joins us. But, it's our diversity that lends us strength and makes
it an interesting place to be. We all learn and grow from the various
viewpoints and knowledge that are passed around here. Of course, the
diversity also leads to conflict, but that's also part of learning and
growth as we learn to handle it.

Yup... But sometimes I just do it anyway. ;-)

Well, I first joined in the spring of 1993 I believe, around
issue 60..... :-) I'm sure there are a few even 'older' jammers left
though...
