all email lists are the same.
its just a matter of you trying not to brag about how much you know (and who you know) so you will look cooler than the other people on the list that aren't afraid to go ahead and brag.
cuz you know the coolest people on any list are the ones that rarely get drawn into the silliness of arguing on the internet.
i must admit that on one list in my past, the idea of actually fighting someone was entertained, but, of course, he started it.
He said something to the effect of, well, i better not see you out at a show sometime. don't introduce yourself.
or maybe i'm lying. either way, i've seen it happen. so it exists.
so, pick a list.
i think its funner, and (funnier) to join an email list for a subject you know nothing about and just be the idiot. that way you dont even get all upset about it.
cuz it doesn't matter to you whether a '73 maytag washer dryer combo actually came in avocado like you said it did.
seriously.

Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) from the album Funeral by
The Arcade Fire

White Magic sounded like a generic indie
band to me.
You know, make sure there's no bass and put a demure and
bored girl up on stage whose fans in the crowd will hush your drunk
ass with finger-to-the-mouth-shushes louder than you are when you run
into a buddy, and who will refer to the demure bored girl by her
first name, as if they were on a first name basis, even though they
so are not, and if they were, it really wouldn't be any different
than if they were on a first name basis with...oh, let's say the girl
from Mocket.
