Mellotronists

Hi Don, I really appreciate this list being here - it directly led me to 
my m400.  It's the email that I most look forward to every day, not only 
for the valuable information and wide range of opinion and criticism, 
but also for the devastating wit and humor delivered by a number of our 
members. 

Mike Dickson is a contender in all those categories, and a luminary in 
the last.  I feel that Mike is a valuable contributor (as are you and 
many others) to the list and I really wish that you'd reconsider your 
action - we will be lesser for his absence.  I mean if we can make it 
through "Corn Flakes As Musical Instrument?!?", we should be able to 
come through Jon Anderson's lyrical value intact. 

Sure, Mike can be a bit of an asshole at times, but who can't?  And like 
my old man used to say, "Assholes are like opinions - everyone's got at 
least two or three"... OK, so I've come to realize that my father 
entertained some strange notions...
