I guess some of these things are just universal, especially among men. Now I am going to say something that might sound a bit snotty.. NIN isn't really metal, especially when they went mainstream so their mosh pits are going to be filled with people the likes of which go to Woodstock headlined by Limp Bizkit, haha. At these smaller shows I think the pits are filled with veterans who know the unofficial rules of the pit. I was at another show with a similar lineup, this time with an English band called Carcass and some skinhead got up on stage and got a hold of a mic and shouted out "white power" and gave the Hitler salute. He was treated very roughly in the pit when he got back down and when he started to harass the younger people in the audience, the pit bosses, so to speak, showed him the door. Security didn't even have to get involved.

Wow, that is pretty cool that they self policed like that. Queens of the Stone Age was the opening act, so it was a little metal before the electronic stuff started. We saw NIN again later at a venue where we got actual seats and it was much better.
