Yes, of course I have. But over time I've learned to accept that people's opinions are just that : *their opinions*, to which they have a right and which you may or may not agree with. Over time I've also learned to accept that there are people who do not agree with *my* opinions (gasp!) - it's a balance and if it weren't so, we'd all be robotically pre-programmed to like the same stuff (=boring). It's totally pointless pontificating or becoming patronising about individuals' taste - if, for instance, Euro_Trance_Cheez floats their boat (and let's face it, there are millions who love it, weekend after weekend) who are we to feel better about our more 'elevated' or 'sophisticated' taste, if they think we're a bunch of morons to listen to DSP glitches?
