OKAY, HERE IS A THEORY: a majority of local gig goers will be aberdeen-music, right? assuming so, most people will know each other or refer to each other by their aberdeen-music persona, apart from the few groups that have known each other previous to this. and let's not sugar-coat this, aberdeen-music is host to all kinds of e-grudges. some message boards just don't create that kind of *cohesion* that would otherwise exist if there was no online-meeting place for the gig-goers. and i think that reflects on who goes to gigs, who with and the general atmosphere of the link between real people and their online-persona. i missed out on a lot of points that might suggest otherwise in your opnion, but hey, i couldn't construct a definite arguement if i was on both/every side, right? crazy theory, huh?
