I was much angrier a few days ago, Drew. But let me add this: the more 
you try to shove the damned forums down my throat, the worse a taste it 
leaves in my mouth. 

If we wanted to use them, we would be there by now. And vice versa. Can 
you please stop trying to eviscerate the list in favour of your forums? 
Just fucking leave it alone.

Okay, I guess I'm still angry. I still adore you, and I still want to 
help. But please: just stop.

I dunno. If it's for charity, why not do another CD? If it's all in fun, 
why not? Though I've had the idea of a cover album for AGES. I thought 
it'd be nice if we did, perhaps, songs that just mean a lot to US. Sort 
of by-Rhinelanders-for-Rhinelanders, with no greater aspirations. If we 
try to be more professional with an OtR "Thank You" album (like Duran did 
of their own idols) we run into copyright issues, don't we?

What if we did our favourite songs as OtR would do them? Or perhaps as 
OtR would do them if they were a polka band. 

Still, I'd love to see this be an OtR cover album like we did before, for 
charity. Knowing it'll be a professional output makes me treat it more 
seriously.

Okay. I'm fine now. Really.
