If you avoid OM, you do avoid something good, but those are personal
choices we all have to make. Chris makes some serious contributions to
the whole world of "acid jazz", "new groove", or "new beat jazz", or
whatever tag you want to give the scene. By that virtue, alone, I think
he should be "allowed" to post his messages. That's just my STRONG
personal opinion.

To further "opine" : I think the top 10s are cool and the info offered
about OM are useful. It keeps djs, promoters, etc. informed. "Press
Releases" contribute to my information, and I can sift through what I
need and can't use. Personally, I find that OM's efforts have gone
unmatched in the realm of enhanced cd productions and just putting out
"dope stuff".

I would suggest that one address his/her "concerns" in the same manner
as he/she would the tv or radio,.. tune it out,.. in other words, delete
the message if you don't want it. Hence, the term "force feeding" is a
bit overblown,... ehhh, perhaps inappropriate!
