Dave, I'm sure your intervention is well meant but please read the posts.

Context again, Bryan

Correct. From Jim Carroll's post of 03 Nov 08 - 05:16 AM -

If you have written into your policy that the criterion for being allowed to sing is wanting to do so - yes, you are, if not championing, then certainly promoting bad singing.

Pretty straight and to the point. Nothing rhetorical there as far as I can see.

If we can get past that, I might find the time to address the other points although it would be nice to know that I wasn't going to attract further abuse from Jim.

Just for the record, I have never said, rhetorically or otherwise, that Jim was proposing auditions.

Read the thread.
