I think we can safely say that you love the band and the music.  so do i,  so does listie jan,  so does everybody else on the list.  however, this *is* a discussion list,  and if all we were to say is how much we love the band,  it would be a *boring* discussion list.

When jan posted her observation, I wondered if she regarded the lack of musical introduction as a "bad" thing.  So, i asked her.  She didn't.  There was no malicious intent there to tear the hell out of the band.  She just noticed something she found unusual,  and wondered if you and i had ever noticed it either,  and then having brought our attention to it,  what we thought.
Let's say i asked listie jan if she thought it was a "bad" thing,  and she had said yes.  What would that mean?  That she knows better than the band?  That she's in a better position than Karin/ Linford/ Ric to assess songwriting?    Or just that is her opinion?  I'm sorry, i just didn't find anything in her post or the subsequent posts to take umbrage.
I love the band, too. But i love Oreo cookies,  and i twist them apart!

I think perhaps you came down *just a little* heavy handed.  She just posed a question.  That she felt that she needed to defend herself  belies the "humour" that you said you felt when reading her post.

Jan, i for one thank you for your question {"Thank you!" ;-)}. As a result of it,  i had some good time with my 6 discs.
And, hey,  at least you got a thread goin'!

Laner, i respect your opinion and i'm glad to see you posted.  I just happen to think you're wrong, but that's *my* opinion.

good day, all.
