With this, I'd like to apologize for my response. In retrospect,
being critical of _the fact_ that someone likes/dislikes something gets
everyone - as we should ALL well know on this list by now - nowhere. A
better way to approach it would have been to temper my surprise, and the
(in my eyes) apparent sillyness of the reasons for dislike, with a good
measure of curiosity and open-mindedness. So, for that, I apologize
to all.
