I've heard Beethoven's 6th and Ponytails' Born Too Late, and I know which I have on my MP3 playlists. (I hear the voices of the microtonists and other music geeks calling from my exile from the list right now.) But I regard that as personal choice, not a statement on quality. Likewise, I prefer huge alien landscapes, dramatic heroes and world changing decisions to personal growth plots, but that's personal choice, not a statement on quality. -- David Starner - dvdeug@email.ro Ic sæt me on anum leahtrice, ða com heo and bát me!
