Richard ask not what the pedants can do for you, ask what's in it for them?

The only reason they bother about this bollocks is to inflict their parsimonious views on the community - usually from some position of power or influence they have done nothing to deserve.

Seriously, have they EVER done anything for you that you feel in the slightest bit grateful for.....come on think about it. Given you a gig, a plug on the radio, a friendly review, brought to your attention a decent song......they are to a man and woman, self serving miserable gits. Its an ego trip for them, limiting the success of artists, who work harder at what they do everyday, than these buggers have ever done.

The elephants migrated to Africa - that bit worries me a bit. Whereas the hairy Mammoth was once a common sight in the country byways of Derbyshire. They dug one up in Cresswell Crags - he was heading south at the time of his demise, by the look of it.
