It is great news, Strappado ! That's why I registered immediately when I saw it in the shoutbox !
My life is metal, I love to hear it all day long. I think I'm addicted to it. When I see websites about metal, I have to see what bands are on it.
I'm a DJane on SecondLIfe.com, a virtual world where I'm playing metal gigs at least twice a week. I love to play metal music for others, especially when they are interested, so that I can make them listen to my own favorite tracks. On other days I'm just listening to stuff I find on the net, and reading my metal magazine which is called 'Aardschok' (Holland). Very good one, has 100 pages every month and lots of interviews and album reviews.
I know that I can never be of much help since you all know a lot more about it than me. But still I hope to be able to answer one of your questions one day.
