Thanks Liam. Christ it gets tiring having people accuse you of trying to "make rules instead of music", or "spoiling the music with "professional" stuff". I even had someone tell me that I was "missing out on a lot of fun by reading all that "history", rather than just "doin' it"!

You mention the "unwritten rule". Life is full of unwritten rules like "courtesy towards others" that the odd person just can't help stomping on. The problem is, that one person often destroys the prevailing mood, and it becomes very difficult to recapture it.
