that's cool.  i didn't mean to sound so harsh.  sometimes deadheads are
a little sensitive, as they're often used as whipping boys on other music
lists.  compared to some that i've seen, your comments would seem like
glowing praise.

when one of the perennial "moe sucks" threads cropped up on emule a
while back, someone posted a hilarious satire entitled "WAFFLES SUCK",
which went on and on about how bad waffles are, and how much better
their preferred breakfast food (pancakes?  i don't recall) is.  made the
point quite well.  you like what you like.  you don't like what you don't.
if you don't like it, don't eat it.  or listen to it.

we're cool.
