I spent quite a while lurking before I started posting, and the two things that put me off the most were a lot of general immaturity, regardless of the posters' ages, and a lot of people whose main interests seemed to be massaging their own egos and getting other people to massage their egos for them. Considering that SY is a band that has so much revolving around it that is worthy of some kind of intelligent discussion, there is a hell of a lot of really pointless stuff posted here.
I think that's my way of agreeing (most of) with the above. I still like Sonic Youth though, and I'll continue to post here because there are a lot of cool people who do have worthwhile stuff to say.
As far as Melly goes, I was aware of him, but I don't miss him as much as I'd miss the use of a limb. There are plenty of other people here.
