*nod* Yeah, I'm inclined to be in favour of keeping the music stuff and losing the cliquey wankiness too. Mind you, that could be because statements beginning with 'we' wind me up. I know there are people out there who believe that there is such a beastie as The Collective Will Of U.P.G, but it's not a theory I've ever subscribed to myself. [1]
On the other hand, saying 'keep these questions, lose these ones' would probably unleash a shitstorm of aggrievement from people who couldn't craft a decent gig review or even a halfway reasoned argument on one side or other of the various upg 'discussions' to save their lives but who have got the idea into their heads from God knows where that there's some kind of unspoken goth hierarchy [2] out there and like the idea of trying to push themselves up it by means of Most Fancied / Most Missed / Most Likely To Be Seen Outside In Broad Daylight In A Pair Of Lime Green Knickers / Whatever.
Which almost tempts me to go and suggest it.
