John: LOL!

Banjiman/Paul: No offence, but if you re-read my last post the LAST thing I'm saying is that I'm not getting what I want from my music. My original point when I first came to the thread was NOTHING TO DO WITH MY OWN CAREER. Please, accept my word on this. I'm a straight-talking guy (too much so for my own good at times), and nothing I say on here or elsewhere carries any hidden subtext.

Snail: Similarly, when I tell you club organisers have my total backing and admiration, I really mean it. If I had a gripe with your lot, I'd tell you so openly. It's not as if I'd have anything much to lose by doing so. If you found one of my earlier points personally combative, just accept the apology offered.
