I wouldn't call you a bootlicker - I'd just say you really, really hate to
cause offence to anyone!

But yes, that's obviously the right attitude to take the FAQ, which is more
in the nature of a reference work than a piece of journalism.  I'm
reasonably sure you won't be putting "Meltzer is a dick" in version 4.0
(even if you think he's a complete plonker).

And it's the same on my Amon Düül II webpage - it's not the right place to
quote what Renate said to me about John Weinzierl! :))

(Though being me, I'd like to read the dirt as well... :)
