Mellotronists

Well, Rick, Fuck it, then.  Winner take all -- or let them piss in their own 
backyards, mark their own territory, and get back to the business of 
Mellotrons.

Seriously, I did that not so much to protect the sensibilities of people on 
the list (do we have any, considering what our common passion is?  LOL), but 
just maintaining some decorum on the list.  I know AOL gets real pissy if 
profanity is used, and don't know how Yahoo and/or Don feels about that.  
That's all.  But's let's not let that detract from the fact that sometimes 
people on this list engage their mouths/keyboards before they engage their 
brains, and before you know it, it's Tron Wars: The Phantom Menace again.  
Not taking sides, you gotta admit promotion is quite different from 
sarcasm/sniping, and while both sides have done the former, both have also 
engaged in the latter.  Would you take the latter approach against a rival 
mystery writer?  Of course not, and it should be no different here.

Why can't we just get along?  Where's Rodney King now that we really need 
him? -- (in jail again, of course -- really!).
