ha ha Dennis! Or is it mightyjohn? Don't worry...maybe you already do 
know my Art, but just don't know it's me!!!!

I'm not as sanctimonious as you, and my pleasure is not derived in 
trying to convince anyone of anything. But aren't you doing the very 
same thing trying to convince all of us my post was wrong?

It was simply voicing my concern about Emagic to the Emagic user 
group, just the way you voiced your concern, albeit entirely 
mistaken, about my post. Somewhere, in the fuzz of your brain, you 
missed that I actually was speaking my mind. It did end with a 
question, right?

Got a problem with that? Who cares!!! 

You can't even capture the main point from my post, which has nothing 
to do with how enlightened I may or may not be....but with the 
central purpose, to my mind, of reminding a company, from their 
customer, that I do care whom they choose to represent the product, 
their company. Think back a few decades, or were you still in 
diapers? Companies used to spend agonizing days, weeks, months 
choosing public representatives...because they were genuninely 
concerned about the impact to their reputation, moreso than the 
numbers generated (though it was a factor as well)

Some of us humans haven't gone the way of mainstream; immediate, 
hedonistic desires instantly fulfilled and every lusty hole plugged. 
Some of us do still have principles, and understand that Art has a 
greater impact than people want to believe, and that it truly can 
touch and become the timeless...

HA HA!

I can still say what I want, and know why I say it, and condemn you 
to listen to the idiocy Rush L. would spread in your brain, as it 
seems the seed is already there.

Enjoy!
