Your criticisms of Cowabunga are well founded, Ivan. Those same characters who
were messin' up the Reverborama list last month are now at it on Cowabunga!
Never-the-less, some good discussion still gets through and as you say, not
everyone has moved hear (yet). I do hope this list is able to maintain it's
civility. Don't nobody tell you-know-who about it!!!

I would respectfully like to disagree with Marty. In my opinion,
Cowabunga group has been crap for a long, long time. I first joined
the group in late '94 or thereabouts, and it was wonderful for many
years. But since about 2000, it changed. Between political rants
and constant flame wars between the prog-heads and trad-nazis and the
same few people making the same dull posts, it's become really,
really tired, and information content is almost zero. As far as I'm
concerned, SG101 has really emerged as THEE group for tolerant,
civilized true lovers of surf music, whether musicians or not. Not
that there are not some very good people on Cowabunga still, but I
honestly don't understand why they stick around there. I wish we
could get them over here permanently (John Blair in particular comes
to mind). Maybe the perception is that this list is just for gear-
talk, which is obviously not the case. I think SG101 has become at
least partly what Rip Thrillby of the Penetrators wanted Reverborama
to be. But anyway, for somebody new to surf music it seems like
Cowabunga would be a big turn-off. I'd advise staying away.
My two cents (without anybody asking - sorry)...

Also, go to the shows and buy from the bands there. Also, subscribe
to the Cowabunga yahoo group if you haven't already.
