First off, lets not get petty about spelling here. I was writing that post
late on Sunday evening and spelling wasn't foremost on my mind..no biggie.
You've never mis-spelled a word or name before? Geez..
As far as the substance of the thing goes...you've been around long enough
to see the changes in this band from the early days. Don't say that this
has never crossed YOUR mind before. Hell, it's been discussed here before.
I'm not breaking new ground...Do YOU think anything happens in the band that
Linford doesn't approve of?? (really?). I've seen it in the way the band has
evolved (such as the lineup changes), I've seen it in disapproving glances
Linford has given other members during shows in the past. These things have
formed my opinion. What is yours?

I believe everyone has "business" giving their opinion on the list,
regardless if they give a long line of evidence to back it up or not. After
all the foul language, personal attacks, etc that we've seen on the list I
think it's amusing that you would select this instance to tell someone they
shouldn't share their thoughts.

I'm not trying to convince you, or anyone else - simple stating my view.
However, after reading your "remember when..." post recently it sounds like
my explanation is as good as any for the change in things (and I did
remember most all that stuff by the way...).
