this whole argument is starting to remind me of a thread in the Queensryche newsgroup
where some guy wrote a rant about how rock groups don't "respect" their fans enough
and that they should basically do what the fans want no matter what - he seemed to feel
that he was owed something just because in the past he had bought a record and this
obligated the artist to kiss his ass and not do anything he didn't like

and yet, in other places around the world people are worrying about where their next
meal is coming from, or possible worrying if theres a bullet waiting for them the
next day.....doesn't it possible make some people feel just a TAD silly?

and no, I'm not singling YOU out (great name by the way) theo, just making
a comment on the possible implications of this in the greater scheme of things
;-)

I'll get down off my high horse now
