Tin,  thanks for bringing some life back to this mailing list! Probably
shouldn't  say this, but more of the same tonight please! And don't forget to
have a  drink for me! :-)

I thought Tin Soldier had some half points, but drew some things into it  all 
that had no bearing. 
(38 yrs old 6 4 1/2 b/f I go any further)
For one it doesn't matter the age of the person in relation to what is  being 
spoken on. We could be a bunch of 21 yr olds speaking on the topics in  which 
he doesn't think are relevant to what Killing Joke really is about. 
 Me personally, yeah well Vedic and esoterica is what I am- That's  what made 
Killing Joke go beyond the realm of even a band and music- Bringing up  "Kali 
Yuga", the Golden Age, mentioning Bohemian Grove and other things as  such- 
to me that's like wow pretty damn cool- to someone else , even a core fan,  
that may all gloss right by them without even a notice or care- maybe even a  
scoff. 
Now when I joined the list (late 90's) I would have imagined it would have  
been full with people who were keying into the same things. I wouldn't say that 
 I was let down when I realized it wasn't (or to the extent that I was), I  
just would have thought different. 
 Though KJ (and its members) isn't as philosophically  defined as like 
(original) Shelter, but it could be seen as being into  Shelter for the lyrics and 
philosophy, joining an e list of their core followers  and finding out that 
most people on the list just have a mild or general  interest  at most  (or even 
be opposed to the general  philosophy)of what one really would want to talk 
about while being on the list  and what really interests them about the band and 
its members- this example  being mentioned in Tin Soldiers behalf-
 For me I hold others opinions and mindsets equal to mind so hey if  someone 
isn't what i'm into then so be it-Another thing is KJ has a lot of  facets to 
what they could be defined as- they have been through different  "stages" 
where some philosophy was more dominant then others- other times the  philosophy 
was there but more vague- They also have some contradicting  philosophy (go 
figure)- you could take 4-6 lines and draw up a philosophy  and 4-6 other lines 
and come up with a very opposite philosophy- one then  could just be tapped 
into a core aspect of the band at a different angle then  ourself and neither one 
is offbase.
 another big point is sure there is lot discussed that could be seen  as 
banal, but there isn't a hell of a lot going on to talk about anyway- I mean  that 
goes without saying. 
Anyway just my thoughts on it all- If I didn't like and appreciate the list  
I wouldn't be on it. Ive appreciate all the talk and different  points of view 
over the years (besides all bickering and bs of  course)
