I'm so sorry you felt you were being chastised and then embarrassed.
That wasn't the intent at all.

I certainly don't run this group or have any complaints objection to
what you have mentioned in your intro. I assumed that you were
possibly interested in more info. I'm sorry if the info or the way it
was presented was contrary to useful.

I just thought I could help with my limited experience of spending
way too much time hunting for stuff in Japanese record shops and
trying to figure out the various scenes and relations between bands.
I guess the reward is, once I realized I should have done some other
things besides shopping for CDs, that I had clues to other
interesting bands that had a sound that relates to what I already
like. Sometimes though one might find that an artist is on a small
indie label or sublabel of a major. Often one finds great stuff that
you've never heard of on the label's site unless it's some huge label
with every kind of music.
