[NewMusic] events list etiquette

[Matt Davignon]

I wasn't the one who started including references to future shows on
the Luggage Store listings. Rent's doing that, and he doesn't
currently read this discussion list. I can talk to him if that's what
people want.

But as a show goer, I certainly don't mind seeing a one or two line
'heads up' for upcoming shows tacked on to the bottom of a 'main'
event posting.

What do people who think who are readers of the events list, rather
than posters or moderators? Do those future listings get in the way,
or are they useful?

Matt
