All--
No, as I believe this whole debate has made quite clear, this list is NOT real life. If not for the nitpicky attitude some take when examining others' posts ("That one word there generalizes--I'll reply") then for the inflated ego the e-mail media creates. We all do it, but of course that doesn't mean it's good or right. But I don't know what I'm getting at here.
No, I didn't like Alex's post, I think that's clear, but everything it has spawned has made it worth its while (at least to me it was worth nothing else, not having or especially wanting to hear lp5 and all). So thanks, Alex, though to me it would seem that you have far too much time on your hands, i.e. "gotta fight the powers that be." Not that I really care how you spend your time.
So, ah, I guess, love each other, chill out, and be happy? Is that our lesson from all of this? Or is there one? I don't know, it's all just so entertaining, the simplest pleasures make people the happiest...
required idm content: I like music.
