I don't see that it dignifies anybody on this list to continually have to go to bat for artists they appreciate. A negative review of an album is one thing, but "slagging" is another, and that is exactly what is going on. The unbridled arrogance of this statement quoted above, from my point of view, is exactly what kills most e-communications, especially discussion groups. The sad fact is that most folks don't even realize they're doing it (like myself, often). I try to keep such caustic and asinine remarks to a minimum. I don't think it's too much to ask from the rest of humanity. But then again, it is so very easy to complain. Let's see it in alphabetical order, please. Tom
