Exactly. I've put a lot of time into recommending stuff to particular people on other forums, and it's discouraging when they don't respond or don't get around to checking them out for a while. But then we sometimes do the same thing ourselves. There's just so much music out there. And often, someone will make recommendations to someone else based on their broad tastes, and the person may be on a certain kick at the moment and that stuff doesn't fit in right away. There are a lot of factors. But yes the bottom line is that we're here to discover new stuff...but also to spread the word about what we like.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
