No angry backlash from me -- I wasn't there, but I can easily imagine 
the band struggling pretty terribly without Alan.  They didn't usually 
do that well without him when he was on hiatus in the '90s, and that was 
with plenty of warning ....  I wonder what's up.  A decade further, is 
Alan off for another "time-out" again?  It'd be a shame, 'cause I 
thought they were playing really well in the last year or so, and Alan 
is pretty fundamental to the 'cause IMO.  When the Brock/Davey/Chadwick 
core have it together, they cook as hot as any line-up and better than many.

Cheers,
Carl
