I'm sorry for my short fuse as well.   I have tremendous respect for the work you have done and your passion for perpetuating the music is evident. I could have rephrased my comment, but to be blunt, I was very pissed. I don't think you realize how it looks to the rest of us and what a distraction it has been to THIS conversation. I agree, your comments deserve to be discussed.

It would not be proper if I were to enter into a discussion of English folk music and started a conversation about the Mets chances of overtaking the Phillies this season.

Again, I apologize for my short fuse. As you say, it happens - and we all move on.

Now, about our relief pitching....
